Looks like they're stirring the pot again . No comment yet from Koizumi who was too busy .

Quote: guys in suits Maybe they were transvestites? There seemed to be alot in the area as we walked back towards William Street. Most of the crowd was decidedly suitless though. That shelter was someone's makeshift home just below the path in Hunter Park.

guava juice? psshaw! There was also some obligatory wine somewhere on the table there. Everywhere we went, wine lists were thrown in our faces. Australia seems quite proud of the advances in their grape juice.

There's a bloody Bloody Mary in the background there. Here's another one at the Opera House: I found that Sydney knows how to make a proper bloody mary, unlike the "tomato juice with some ice cubes in a bathroom glass" variety you get in Tokyo. le_spud: Forgot to mention that we also checked out the Fitzroy Hotel for some prawn laksa: Was this your place? It has a great view!

Thanks for the tips; we ended up having lunch at the Icebergs Dining Room and Bar in Bondi, located just above the Bondi Icebergs swim/fitness club: The vittles: softshell prawns The view: Followed by a nice walk over to Bronte Beach: Thanks for all of the tips.

here are even more impressive skillz .

Nice to see your BC reports all assembled in one site now.

cheers, SubZero. I was thinking to head out to either Manly or Bronte beach tomorrow for lunch/dinner before flying back. Haven't decided which yet. Heard that the oysters are great/cheap in Sydney Fish Market.

Sorry for not emailing, but: a) I thought I would get your attention more quickly on these low-bandwidth forums I wanted other people to benefit from your (and others') pearls of culinary wisdom. Will check on those places you've mentioned so kindly above. I'll be in the offices today and tomorrow, but Mrs. G is roaming about in my absence. oompah oompah oompah. I'm wondering whether the Australian pubs will get some special pass to open late for the Australia-Italia match late tonight?

Anyone have recommendations for good places to eat in Sydney? I just had a very tough lobster at Doyle\'s with a very nice view of the opera house. But it is obviously a tourist trap. Any local flavours to recommend? I staying at a hotel next to this big pointy thing... Thanks in advance!

what a transparent ploy to build the suspense and anticipation to dizzying heights...
