A few more, time permitting: 1) The F3 ferry (Parramatta RiverCat): pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauska... pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauska... 2) Walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge: pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauska... 3) Take a photo from up here: pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauska...

4) Visit Old Government House in Parramatta: pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauska... 5) Eat at Burwood Chinatown: burwoodchinatown.com.au 6) Definitely Art Gallery of NSW: pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauska... 7) Museum of Sydney: mhnsw.au/visit-us/mus...

8) If you do head up Parramatta way, and you're interested in colonial history at all, within a short walk of Parramatta Wharf there's: www.hambledoncottagemuseum.org.au www.nationaltrust.org.au/places/exper... mhnsw.au/visit-us/eli...

I mean, of course he is. Trump basically tweeted out that this had to happen or people would get fired. Doesn't mean they actually have a case.

We also have whatever you call this www.tumblr.com/the-skyfishe...

One day it will be like smoking in restaurants and bowling alleys

Thankyou both for the walking and eating tips! Ghost tours is definitely going to appeal to our kid, lock that in 😆

In Canberra converted golf courses would certainly aid increased housing supply, but public space & parks become all the more important as densities increase. A balanced approach would make the best scheme

I think I’m back now. I could see replies, but not the post it was replying to. And my own account was blank. I nearly thought about going outdoors for a moment there.

There are many cafés in Australia. But few let you sip a flat white while staring at an archaeological site. (Earlier post: https://pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauskas/846329855424086558 ) #Parramatta #cafe #coffee #australia #NSW #history #archaeology #buildings #architecture

The telco sector has been complaining the past few months about being overregulated so I decided to go back and see what Optus had said recently.

If you really want to be mean, drop a few random piles of clothes on the street overnight. Then knock on the fundies' door, point at the clothes piles, and tell them a whole bunch of people raptured overnight. "Gees, I'm actually kinda surprised you didn't join 'em. What happened?"

So this weekend I went along to the Greek festival in Parramatta. And to say it was crowded would be a bit of an understatement... https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/@aj/statuses/01K4XJ0PPFRS0V9ZPN51TQYHDB #Greek #Greece #multicultural #festival #australia#festival#greek#multicultural#parramatta

Let’s Go Greek Festival Parramatta. 💙

The political toxin of public transport infrastructure requires a Labor leader who can just 'bite the bullet' and invest with belligerence and use contracts and the electoral cycle to wedge the Greens and Liberals. Minns should take a leaf out of Dan Andrews book in my opinion.

Some cute cat stickers and a zine I picked up at the Parramatta Zine Fair, by a creator named Sonia. You can see more of her work at https://www.instagram.com/maison.meowmeow Mr Snowy Tanowy approves! #cat #cats #zine #zines #writing #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats #caturday

The Parramatta Zine Fair was an amazing event: https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/@aj/statuses/01K57VPVZRF45Q0NC4B5PYFWMM Many zine creators from many cultural backgroundsdisplayed their self-published creations. #zine #zines #writing#zines#zine#author

The Weekend in Wisteria Festival is on this weekend at the Wisteria Gardens in Parramatta Park: https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/@aj/statuses/01K4Q7J6XYTFXD30H23XPG0QH5 It really is beautiful seeing the flowers in springtime bloom. #flower #flowers#flower#Sydney #plants #gardens#plants#Sydney#parramatta

Building Beautifully posted a video running through the many cancelled rail plans of the Carr/Iemma/Rees/Keneally governments. It's a fascinating yet frustrating watch. Hopefully the Minns Labor gov't won't be as bad, but so far I'm not confident. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNAD... #auspol #nswpol

Myeh. Hoping the weather's ok. I've got lawns to mow

Go Lions!!

Thankfully, Collingwood is out 😁 Personally, I'll be barracking for Brisbane next weekend. How's about everyone else? #AFL

I always felt that Hewson was a decent and honest bloke, Howard on the other hand .....

@ajsadauskas Downstairs in that Challis House was the original (I think) home of Utopia Records, the heavy metal superstore. It was a poky little shop where a young slip of a girl plainly did not belong. But it was the first place I'd ever found Beatles bootlegs. $50 in the days when new […]

The Sydney tram has killed Darwin-award-winners though (idiots step between the two coupled trams while they are stopped at a station or traffic light and then get hit and run over when the trams start moving again). That idiocy isn’t possible with a continuous tram (would need to be 60m long)

A very Japanese thing to do. Really common to see potted plants or tiny dirt spaces used for gardening in the back streets of Japanese cities.

Recent piece about my favourite style of coffee, in a UK publication. I did notice this year in Europe that I had to explain 'long black' less often than in the past. #coffee #uk https://www.theuktimes.co.uk/will-the-long-black-soon-be-the-uks-favorite-coffee/

Remember when Disney ripped off our ABC's logo and there were lots of angry Aussies commenting about it, and Americans were replying "But Disney owns ABC." Nope.

UPDATE: GEEL has not beaten HAW in a knockout final since 2025 #AFLCatsHawks #AFLFinals #AFL

Yeah Gunston not bad either (Crows supporter through gritted beak 🙄)

My reaction that Geelong are into another AFL Grand Final #afl #aflcatshawks

It’s infuriating that Stewart will miss the GF and they’ll change the timing of the bye next year to avoid it happening again. This was a completely foreseeable outcome 5+ years ago and the #afl just sleep-walked on and let it happen.

Well deserved win for Geelong, who were clearly the more experienced side. Hawthorn put up a strong fight, especially in the first quarter, and they should be stronger for this finals campaign. #afl

Despite the result, this was quite possibly Marbior Chol's best ever game. #AFL

I think Hawthorn is still an A-grade midfielder short of being a premiership team. So even if they won tonight, I think they would've struggled in the grand final.

99,597 at the MCG The biggest non Grand Final V/AFL crowd since 1971 #AFLFinals #AFLCatsHawks #AFL

Yeah it’ll take a herculean effort for the Hawks to get up from here. Kick the first goal or two though and you just never know…

Hawks fighting back though, this ain’t over yet.

Christ this game has turned quickly

Mr Snowy Tanowy is intently watching the Geelong Cats play Hawthorn. #AFL #cat #cats #Geelong #Hawthorn #Caturday #Catstodon #GeelongCats #HawthornHawks #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfBlueSky #catsofpixelfed

My gut feel is that Geelong will be too strong in the second half and will have more run in their legs. As a neutral though I just want to see a close game.

Half time… Time to fuel up.. What a game!!!! #AFL #AussieRules #Football

Big weekend for the #AFL Preliminary Finals! Tonight: Geelong Cats v Hawthorn Hawks (Geelong not in it so far at Q1) Saturday: Collingwood Magpies v Brisbane Lions Early game at 5:15pm EST The winners will play each other next week at the #AFLGF!! I’m hoping for a Lions v Geelong GF #AFLFinals

Really ramped up in intensity now, this game is red hot. Looked like Hawthorn were right on top but the Cats have fought back nicely. All set for a cracking second half. #AFLCatsHawks #AFLFinals #AFL

You've seen this building many times, but probably not from this angle. The back of the Sydney Opera House, as seen from the Royal Botanic Gardens. #Sydney #Building #architecture #NSW #austria

Arrrrrgh
