If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

March 3, 2006

I'm on the road to the delightful and beautiful global city of Sydney. I will post tomorrow if I have the time. As my days are loaded up with work from the time I arrive early in th emorning so I will have little time to sample the delights of an "urban paradise"; or walk the laid back streets of Cronulla to see why the beach needed defending from the Lebanese-Australians.

Meanwhile a definition of parliamentary politics:

Politics as it is framed by the media. The media loves the politics of leadership and dislikes the politics of policy. It's attracted by the blood and guts, treachery, obsesssion and death of the struggle of leadersship. That is what politics as power is about in the media.

I would kill for the urky felling of having the undertow plaster a lump of seaweed against my leg at Maroubra Beach.

I am land-bound here and the Atlantic can't hold a candle to the Pacific. Enjoy Sydney.

Australia's New York. Love the place, but I can't afford it, and it probably can't afford me either. Queensland will probably be getting me I come home.

Cameron,
Sydney is a beautiful, vibrant, multicultural city.It's beauty takes my breath away each time I fly into it.

I cannot afford to live there. Nor do I aspire to. I'm quite happy to be based in the regions and dip in and out.

I understand being landbound.

I grew up in New Zealand And I need to be near water, preferrably the sea. I could not live in the centre or the inner regions of the states.

I fear the heat, bushfires and lack of water. It all means death to me.
