Sydney has newish light rail (= tracks in the CBD heading out into nearby suburbia on wide roads) as well as traditional CBD underground & on ground rail out to suburbia & beyond, plus a new Metro (= underground for a few miles, then above ground heading to remoter suburbia) plus buses so we are well served for public transport. Living 1 station from the CBD I'm well catered to as all buses to suburbia are just down the road.

some pics Yesterday we (Sydney CBD) had 122mm rain (4"),today 8mm (much less) Yesterday was our wettest day since 1879!!

more pics NSW tornadoes not rare as Sydney records heaviest September rain in 146 years

Everything dried out & we had a bit of rain in the morning as I was heading out, & a lovely day followed. We noted sunbeams coming into the room from the blue sky!
