If you existed on the planet yesterday you would know Sydney resembled another planet. The Big Picture has some amazing photos of the dust storm as does Daniel Boud. As usual the media churned out some predictable descriptions, headlines and atrocious metaphors for this event. It’s just a bloody dust storm!
Looking at the pictures though and one common theme springs to the fore. Why does everyone take photos (some exceptions) of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House when depicting Sydney? Are these two architectural wonders the only redeeming features of this city?
As a Melbournite I think you know what my answer would be. Come to your senses Sydney and move down here, we’re more than just a Harbour, House and Bridge!
