Berala is a western suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, located 20 kilometres west of the central business district, in the local government area of Auburn City.

Day 1 (or 2 if you count the previous night when it collapsed around 6pm). A rather rainy June softened this area over time. Some delays were experienced on the Western and Blue Mountains Lines and Cumberland Line trains were rediverted via Regents Park
First there were the OSCAR seats and then There were the Waratah seats- Why can't they remain still? What happened to the good seat assembly team from the Millennium Trains project?! I demand answers.

Did some videoing while during the summer holidays, was on holiday in Sydney December 25-30, 2015. Used my phone to record this. Sydney trains are very well managed and very cheap too. Sydney trains also run on Xmas Day and between 25th December and 5th January. Auckland trains DONT run between 25 December to 5th January, and they don't go to the Airport. Auckland trains do maintenance during this period, despite it being the busiest period for the summer holidays. Sydney trains do run every day. Even on public holidays, there's a train every 15 minutes and were not talking just 2 or 3 carriages, on average there's 8-12 carriages per service, and double decker too, so plenty of room. Sydney Airport train line is very smooth to ride. To get to Bondi Beach you can take the Bondi Junction tra...

Smoke some crystal meth

Sucker, I’m only seventeen
The ruler infiltration
Over enemy lines
On the name of freedom
Win a real good time
4am confession in the bathroom stall
She’s under surveillance and a disco ball
She’s dancing on the speakers, call security
And she just shakes her ass and shows her fake I.D. and says…
Sucker, I’m only seventeen (yeah)

Sucker, I’m only seventeen
