Burning Koala (aka Angela and Eric) has just posted some lovely photos of Sydney University and Victoria Park. This is just a few streets over from our house and it’s one of the prettiest places on this side of Sydney.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Of coure, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Most of the uni is pretty ordinary. Where I work, right down on Shepherd Street and about as far away from the quad as you could be within the special USyd postcode of 2006, it’s cramped and 70s-office-blah. But yes, the quad area is lovely.
Very true, M-H. Even around the quad, there are some horribly old-fashioned looking buildings with tin sides and all. (The Snook tells me that most of the bad ones are full of asbestos, which is why they can’t tear them down very easily.) But to our American eyes, the main quadrangle looks like an English university postcard.
