Sydney Trains Bring People Together

As you'll see below in Town Hall Station:
Aren't they cute? Maybe they're waiting to get into the first carriage... or is it that our stations too cold and they're huddled together for warmth? Is Deni Hines slightly off camera? Are they sick of waiting and are in a line to drop down and start walking?

Whatever the case, they're adorable all squashed until the corner. Add a comment...

Sydney Train Scrums

4:00pm - Wynyard Station. The 3:42pm Western Line train rolls in with a clang and an exasperated "finally". Dressed in formal attire, branching notebooks, discussing business mergers on mobiles - the multicultural rainbow of Sydney approaches the doors.

Then FIGHT - the jousting begins. Everyone getting off the train must scrum against everyone getting on. The number players on each side depends randomly on 1) the amount of people inside the carriage and 2) the position of the doors whether it's a 6 car train or an 8 car train. The unfortunate example below, we see 31 vs. 1.
Unfortunately, he loses and he must return to the train, hold a caucus in the carriage and summon up enough morale so his team defeats the next station.
At least, this must be an explanation for why we form human walls in front of train doors. We must assume we become impermeable entities that can be walked though when the Tangara separates its mandibles. I recommend that Cityrail installs bouncers and a velvet rope in front of each door. The rebellious will be tazed.

Do you enjoy Sydney train scrumming? Are you a perpetrator or a victim? Add a comment...

Sydney This Week In Pictures

Eastern-er Avenue

First of all, words play hide and seek with me when I try to express how happy I am with the new uber massive Eastern Avenue in Sydney University. When you see all the people there between classes, it's hard to believe they all frottaged together on that small path a third of the size.


I'm glad they're making over the university... but can't they instead make it worse so we don't have to feel sad about graduating?

Ticket Inspectors & Train Police

They're everywhere right now! It's not like they hide their identity like the ones from other countries do. So on this train, I heard the pharaonic clomping of someone descendng the stairs. She notice the guards on the other side (below), she paused and ran off the train.

I'm sure it was just an ex-boyfriend or life-coach or something.

Outside Hairdresser

Spotted in Bondi. Why not? It's like a solarium/hairdresser. Her overheads must be expensive, if she has to rent the entire outside world.


She also does Brazilan waxing - spectator fees vary depending on weather conditions. I just hope a bird does fly in and cause genital Lyme disease.
Fan of the new Eastern Avenue? Escaped some inspectors? Considering an investment in outdoor hair removal? Add a comment...
