Garden, not ash tray

This sign might have a little more meaning if, well, if the garden had a bit more....garden. It is in a spot where office workers congregate to smoke. Unfortunately, too many smokers seem to think that their butts are someone else's problem to dispose of! It was cleaned up just before the sign appeared, but it didn't take long for the butts to start appearing again.

Oceanic Cafe

I think the Oceanic Cafe, in Elizabeth St, Surry Hills, must take the prize for the oldest cafe still in its original state in Sydney. Entirely untouched by renovation, it sits amidst a sea of gentrification. I think the bell is tolling for this one! I love the wooden booths and laminex table tops. Do you think you'd like anything on their menu? Rump steak; beef rissoles; bacon egg and chips; lamb's fry; t-bone steak; lamb loin chops.

Pink bike

I liked the cheerful pink trim of this bike, amidst a sea of cars.

War Graves

I've seen lots of cemeteries just like this in France and Turkey. They are maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and are sights of pilgrimage for many Australians whose ancestors fought in far-away places in World War One. Click here for info and a great aerial shot of the one at Villers-Bretonneux in France.

What I didn't know is that there is just such a cemetery here in Sydney (and other places in Australia, 70 in all - see here). This one is a part of the vast Rookwood Cemetery. It is the final home of service men and women who died in Sydney during World War One and World War Two.

There's some more photos of this cemetery here.

Typical golden light of evening in late summer / early autumn.

Aussie stadium

Last night we went to the rugby at Aussie Stadium. Here's Paddington terrace houses (and the moon rising) through the open part of the partial roof as people are arriving.

Tracy - a woman at work!

Continuing my mini-theme of chefs, I suppose! Tracy is the owner and chef at a cafe in my building. She was taking a break, and chatting with the customers having tea at one of the tables outside on the footpath.

Teppanyaki Chef - making the food fly

And the food was DELICIOUS!
