Postal trivia
To anyone who has ever wondered what those green boxes are that are frequently, but not always located adjacent to red post boxes…
Well, this is where mail is stored, for mailmen to pick up and deliver to us.
How clever.
Darlinghurst Nights
Also in Darlo
- Grand design turns vintage clothes into modern (The Australian)
"At Mrs Press in Darlinghurst, you will not find a mothball or suspicious stain in sight." - Red tape strangles fledgling laneway bars (ABC)
"Between the neon of Sydney's Oxford Street and a dark alleyway in Darlinghurst sits a small bar called Ching-a-ling's." - eating in Darlinghurst and Potts Point (fitzroyalty)
"Dessert is a necessity for me. Luckily there is Strawberry Cream (336 Victoria St Darlinghurst, review by Butterfly Garden). They make a fine macchiato (below) but the cherry strudel (above) is the main reason for visiting. Darlinghurst Nights criticised them recently for doing takeaway coffee in styrofoam cups, but as I consider takeaway coffee in general to be beneath my dignity it did not deter me." - Band's graffiti earns a spray from council (SMH)
"Critics say the murals, which appeared in inner-city suburbs including Newtown and Surry Hills, along with 80 spray stencils in skate parks across Sydney, have a commercial purpose because it depicts the cover art for the album." - Sordid world of razor gangs reborn for virtual tourists (SMH)
"The fleshpots of Sydney's Darlinghurst and the Cross are havens for sleaze, binge drinking and boozy violence. Cocaine dealers, standover men, pimps, junkies and sex workers abound."
