Translated, this means that Americans are getting run over in the streets. Remember, it's all upside down and backwards here, which means that Americans must remember to look RIGHT instead of left when crossing the street.
Further translation: The word "Sepo" is the shortened, endearing form of "Septic," which is what the Aussies call the Yanks. "Septic" is derived from the rhyming slang for Yank, "Yank wank septic tank." Charming, I know. Anyway, in an effort to cut down on the numbers of squashed sepos, Sydneysiders have painted little reminders in the street for us. See the photo.
I'm off to the northern beaches now to see if the house I used to live in on Bungan head is still there. Then from there I'll head north to Palm beach and the Hawkesbury river. Tomorrow I'm busing myself down to Bermagui on the south coast of New South Wales to visit my long lost friends.
Meanwhile, my former colleague and now well-renowned Film Director, Bruce Hunt, is trying to get me a spot on board a race boat that his brother is delivering from somewhere in Queensland back to Sydney. Too soon to be hopeful about this, but perhaps this is the big door that is supposed to open when another one has closed.
Stay tuned... Oh yeah, the weather is beautiful, and I wish you were here!
