    Burton is level with Flanagan on 86. Interesting.

    They threw everything at us - even getting their SOO stars onto the field while we rested ours. Their attack was similar to the way the Broncos and Dolphins hit us with missile like running. While our defence was outstanding, we had plenty of opportunities to score but couldn't get the timing...

    I recall an image of SBW next to Willy Mason at training. SBW looked ripped and almost as big as Willy. A few weeks later he walked out on us.

    Plus, they weren't playing in front of a home crowd, didn't get the calls from the ref, and were backing up from a hard game. But it still makes me wonder why we couldn't score a single point against them in the second half.

    It would be on its way to the Macdonaldtown Carriage sheds to pick up its set and take it back to Central for a local run, probably to Richmond or the South Coast. Locomotives usually ran via the "dive" - a tunnel that runs under platform one at Redfern, which took them from Eveleigh sheds to...

    I saw many rock groups at the old stadium. There were often four or five top groups billed in the one show.

    It won't be easy sliding Galvin into the halves, but I'm hoping that he will be given the chance to develop, even if it means a few losses along the way. Better now than if we have to bring him in when we are playing the Panthers and Storm for a chance to be competitive for the finals.

    History interests me. When I did tours of the abandoned Sydney tunnels, I liked to put things into the context of the greater history of Sydney. I was also involved with the archives of the Bank of New South Wales and had access to the history of Australia's first bank and public company...

    Trams using the lines intended for the Peninsular Railway. They terminated at platforms 1 and 2, Wynyard underground. Access stairs to these platforms have been eliminated following upgrades to the station. The empty tunnels still exist. This scene is now the Cahill Expressway.

    This depot is long gone. It served the coal lines for the Hunter River export coal loaders.

    City Bank of Sydney was absorbed by the Bank of New South Wales (Westpac) after the late 1800s depression. Its head office was in Moore Lane, a narrow street in Sydney. Moore lane suffered a huge fire around 1880 which damaged most of the buildings. The site was cleared away and opened up as...

    Today's SMH article: While Canterbury fans were dancing in the streets getting caught up in the euphoria of their long-overdue rise to the top of the league, the Bulldogs coaching staff and senior players were seeing chinks in the armour that were being masked by the almost weekly collection of...
