Default Sydney Harbour Bridge

As many as 800 families living in the Bridge's path were relocated and their homes demolished without any compensation given when the Bridge started construction.

Aah, the good old days.

SHB eh? Only passed underneath it back and forth twenty times today!

Forget the second bridge, just dam Mosman Bay - end Sydney's water shortage once and for all!

Funnily enough .... Mt Druiit isn't that bad ... it's places like Guildford that need more than just a bridge.

Although Mt Druitt is also the only mountain that is a hole ... hee hee. It only has derros .... no terrorists. But then again there's been an influx of 5-10,000 Sudanese into the Mt Druitt area.

Thank God I got out of Rooty Hill (Shagger's Ridge)/Eastern Creek area and moved out to Redneck country (out passed Richmond ... hee hee)
