VP Dick in town for Mardi Gras?
By Nick Hodge | February 23, 2007
US VP Dick Cheney is in Sydney town for talks with Australian politicians (here is why). I doubt he will meet with the real Australian hoi-polloi. Mardi Gras ends next weekend, so I am expecting Dick to stick around.
This week has been total traffic chaos after the shenanigans of the two Queens arriving in Sydney. Strangely, one of ships was also called Mary.
Avril and I have friends from Adelaide who were staying in The Rocks last night. The Rocks is the oldest part of Sydney-town, in the heart of the central business district. The Sydney CBD was locked off from Market Street down to The Rocks at 11pm - so they had to walk at least 2kms to their hotel.
Not Tourist Friendly. All this for one man.
