Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

personally - Bondi Beach, the harbour bridge ( [link] ), Darling Harbour, the zoo, there's a great Sunday market in Portabello, or there was, or just (if you're not against being on more boats) take the ferry around the harbour if its a nice day. Hope your flight is great and that you have a fantastic time.

I vote taking the ferry to the zoo, zuisa. From the ferry, you can see the full scope of the harbor and the zoo is great. Remember that the sun is wicked.

The sun is the one thing freaking me out about this job. I will be bringing copious amounts of sunscreen, but I'm really pale, and I basically burst into flames if out in the sun too long. But hopefully I'll get used to it! I've been living in cold climates for so many years now I don't qute remember what heat is like!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I did too, Calli. I thought it was really cute.

And I've been watching a bunch of Schoolhouse Rocks vids. Yay, You Tube! "I'm a Victim of Gravity" has a great tune.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
