Sydney Photo Friday: Vintage Buses Celebrate Australia Day
One of the things I love most about Australia Day in Sydney is the vintage buses that drive down our city streets. These double-decker beauties are a reminder of our heritage, however short that may be relatively speaking! It’s always nice to look back and see where we came from. And they just look fantastic, don’t they? I don’t know about you, but I think they’ve got a lot more personality than the modern equivalent!

Just like any international airport you will have people approaching you asking if you need a cab. Just ignore them. A cab ride could be a bit pricey at best and some are not even registered legal cabs.
So if you just want a safe and cheap ride into the city, I recommend you...

The new Routemaster
... winners of the competition to design the new Routemaster. One is a joint venture between Aston Martin (who obviously think the credit crunch make buses a better bet than luxury cars!) and Foster + Partners, and the other was designed by Capoco, a firm which designs buses, coaches and trucks.
I suspect a lot of people will be disappointed. Neither of these creations actually looks like the much-loved RM. In particular, the radiator of the Capoco design looks very squashed – not the friendly...
