I’ve been watching the 1986 Australian film Playing Beatie Bow. Was this playground equipment under the Harbour Bridge real or just used in the movie?! I don’t remember it. Bonus nerdery: the titular character lived in the Sirius building (with very different interiors).

Did you know NSW has a free mediation service? Anybody can contact them. But the Minns government is about to close it and replace it with a service with a much narrower remit. #auslaw www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

The feuding northern beaches neighbours and the morning yoga session
