Re: Waratahs at the bottom of the ocean?
Reminds me of an old story about a wagon that ended up in Darling Harbour and when they sent a diver down to get it they came back up and asked "Which one do you want?".
Makes a good campfire yarn.

I also remember seeing a First Fleet on the F3 to Olympic Park on TripView, couldn’t confirm it however.
Would a First Fleet keep to time on an F3?
I understand they used to run the River back when the service only went to Meadowbank.

Leave the morons behind if they're too stupid to figure out what a flashing button means. I'm tired of the shenanigans of the Sydney public. Use your brains! Somebody complained to Transport For NSW about the tram doors being closed when they are supposed to be open Is that true or an urban myth?

A lot of people don’t use public transport because it is not convenient for their needs. Making it free would not make it any more convenient. With the south coast line I would swing the pointer past the zero onto the side where they have to pay me to use it. Have you worked out your 'fare' yet? :l...

Sydney Olympic Park is good when there is an event on, like the Royal Easter Show, but it has now finished so you won't find much there in May.

Was it really just a school bus with a route service number?
I remember it being 'rationalised' in North & Western's changes in July 1990 as it wasn't carrying much then.
