So, being Easter, everything carries a 10% surcharge!  cussing:

And driving offences get doubled demerits!  eeek:

Apparently the surcharge is to cover, "extra staff costs"...  ::)

I have no idea how they justify giving you more points for speeding for example because it is a holiday weekend...? Shrugs:

Anyhoo, general impressions so far are that I LOVE 'Stralia!  ;D

The local beers are delicious!  cloud9:

People are very friendly, the place is beautiful and I'd want to come back for sure. Sydney town is a bit of a mess as they have all the roads dug up to put a tram system in that they, er dug up recently but apart from that it really is a beautiful city...

Can I link a FaceArse album here for non-FaceArse users...?

:thumbsup:  thought you'd like it, it's our favourite city and there is so much to see and do

Should have warned you over that 10%, it's a complicated story to do with restaurants have to pay double wages on those days.  Oz has a lot of labour rules.  The tram plan is a farce, it'll be a failure like the monorail they took out from the Chinatown/Darling Harbour area a couple of years back

Was the Radisson OK or did you move?


But the sad news is no I can't see the pics as no Arsebook account.
