And thanks to the city workers


The success of people-intensive events depends on the hard work of so many behind the scenes workers. This city of Sydney worker was picking up rubish in Hyde Park to keep the area clean for the Catholic World Youth Day revellers.

Today is, apparently Ratcatchers' Day. I hope this young woman doesn't have to deal with any rats!

It's also Pi approximation day in countries that use DD/MM/YY format for dates: 22/7

  1. I like the idea of Pi Day - did not know it existed. What is Ratcatcher's Day all about?

  3. I have absolutely NO idea what Ratcatchers' Day is - just something I saw on Wikipedia and thought it fitted the clean up theme.

    Did you see the letter in today's Herald about the amount of unrecycled rubbish that was left behind at Randwick?

  5. That's a shame about the unrecycled rubbish. Though nice of you to acknowledge the city workers.

  8. Right, they are great, those voluntaries who do it for nothing.
