I’m in Sydney right now – see, here’s me and a House and a Bridge:

I was on the ferry back from the zoo when I took this photo of the Opera House at sunset:

I hopped off the ferry and walked straight into the library at Old Customs House. My, oh my, oh my – what a fantastic idea I saw there.

They have embedded under a glass floor in the main atrium a concept model of the City’s vision for Sydney. It is about three metres by six metres – huge! As I watched, people were walking above it and looking down, squatting over it and a lot of pointing and discussion was happening. There was even a cute little “Have your Say” booth for feedback nearby.
