Accept Certain Inalienable Truths.

If Paris Is A City Of Lights, Sydney Is The City Of Fireworks.

Australia, To The Rest Of The World, Is Just Far Away, And Australia In The Thirties Was The Faraway Of The Faraway.

One Of The Great Things About Sydney Is That It Has A Great Acceptance Of Everyone And Everything. It's An Incredibly Tolerant City, A City With A Huge Multicultural Basis.

Sydney In General Is Eclectic. You Can Be On That Brilliant Blue Ocean Walk In The Morning And Then Within 20 Minutes You Can Be In A Completely Vast Suburban Sprawl Or An Italian Or Asian Suburb, And It's That Mix Of People, It's That Melting Pot Of People That Give It Its Vital Personality.

One Of My Great All-time Loves In Cinema, And I've Seen It Three Times, Is Bondarchuk's 'war And Peace.' Not A Lot Of People May Have Seen That Film. It Was Made During The Soviet Era.
