Oh yes, do I love Sydney. This week has been great - creative board meeting to look at the work, plot and plan and to do it in one of my favourite places in the world is, as the locals would say, ‘CHOICE MATE’. Had a completely Starkish time, thanks to Nobby, Semi and Nic for the great hospitality. Here are my top 10 reasons that I love Sydney (or maybe just Australia)….here we go:
10. Most awesome crest (see top image)
09. Sydney Harbour
08. The Harbour Bridge
07. Bondi Beach
06 (tie). Kylie Minogue and giant bats flitting around at night (see above image of actual size Kylie and Fruit Bat - Kylie is on the left)
05. Elizabeth Bay
04. Oxford St (above the Colombian Hotel)
03. Hyde Park
02. The understated and high-brow fashion sense of certain Aussie Boys (above Oxford Street shop Dayly Male)
01. The Opera House (yup, it’s corny but true….)
Had a great time and great meetings, capped off by a boat trip to a remote beach for a Kiwi-style bar-b-que (sponsored by NZ S&S office). How can you tell it’s a Kiwi Barbie? You have to carry all the crap with you, set it up, cook your own food and then haul it back to town with you!
Thanks Mike and Andrew - it made me feel like I was home…
