This thread causes such an inexpicable longing in me. I've never even been there, but I can't help frequently thinking that Sydney is where I should be. I have felt that way for many years.

I do, however, have a consolation prize in experiencing Eucalyptus trees breaking, crashing, exploding, throwing ashes and sparks in front and igniting things at a considerable distance - So I've got that part going for me. . . .
