T. Hanks

Love the sign above the returns bin in the local DVD/video store in Darlinghurst:

Oh yes, laughed out loud when I saw it yesterday.

Directions

Walking down Victoria Street in Darlinghurst just now, a very old man ambled toward me. I was anticipating being asked for money.
But no. He wanted to know where "Young Street" was. Indeed.
(In truth - as far as I am aware - there is no Young Street. Neither metaphorically, nor literally.)
A bit like how on Monday night I was walking by the Eastern Distributor exit on William Street. A young guy was taking a piss in Wisdom Lane. Wisdom Lane is a No Through Road.
I'll leave that with you.

Feeding time in Darlo




Presumably this goes on 365 days a year in Darlinghurst. Certainly if you stand at a certain ice cream shop at a certain time each day, this is what you see across the road.


Cockatoos are the perfect bird for Darlinghurst: noisy and brash. And at least (unlike the common koel) they don't park themselves in one tree forever. And they seem to go to sleep at night.


There's one I hear around the trees that sounds like it is shrieking: "Get ready! Get real!" I'm sure it lived in a 70s party house. Where else do you get dialogue like that?


Feeding time in Darlo




This scene plays out (presumably) every evening. In the building opposite the ice cream shop(where I filmed this from), the cockatoos come for snacks. Stick around for the last frame.
