From Vivaldi to street raver

From the clouds There can’t be too many cities in the world where you can go from haute crocodile shoes to meeting the world’s largest crocodile in happy one city block.

Sydney still rocks and rolls from the sublime to the ridiculous, from Vivaldi to street ravers, all before lunch time. As the sun peeks hesitantly from the clouds, a luxury ocean liner docked at Circular Quay disgorges five star passengers.

As they make their way into happy the historic area of the city, they have a choice of buskers to throw their coins at — indigenous aborigine with a didgeridoo beside a Vietnam veteran singing the blues.
