@SingaporeAir my flight to #Sydney from #SING was advanced by 30 mins (SQ8516 to SQ211) and onward flight from #blr was also delayed so I had to literally run to new gate..no reason was given for the change. And to make it worse, my luggage did not arrive and I am stranded now.
NSW's detailed daily case data has been updated, up to June 7.
Among the Greater metropolitan Sydney LGAs, Hunters Hill LGA stands out with an extremely high case rate of 4,620/M combined with Reff (case momentum) at 1.1.
Note this report is updated regularly by robots, and provides daily case data down to LGA level, covering NSW, VIC and QLD. It also offers daily case data by age band, at state level.
I don't have time to do all this data justice, and would welcome and encourage any local reporters who want to inform people in their LGA or region. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get started or make it easier. Once you are underway I expect it would take you 5 minutes once a week to inform your local community about transmission levels, trends and hotspots.

#Sydney Airport and electricity giants, AusNet and Spark Infrastructure are now foreign - All approved by Morrison in his role as treasurer.

The #HigherEducationPostcard virtual world tour continues. Here's a #postcard of the University of #Sydney
This was founded in 1850, growing out of Sydney College. In 1848, the year of European revolutions, a plan was proposed to create a secular university for Sydney. This was to be part of the case for self-government for the colony, which was achieved in 1856

My #albumoftheweek is the new Body Type LP. It's been on solid rotation all morning.
Here's the latest variant picture for New South Wales.
XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (29%) continues to battle XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (28%) for dominance.
XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" (18%) has been declining steadily, but is still significant.
Be alert for conjunctivitis symptoms, particularly associated with the Arcturus variant.
The vigorous mix of very different variants poses a raised immediate re-infection risk for anyone relying on natural immunity from a recent infection.
The sample volumes seem somewhat representative up to May 25, although the volume appears to be declining, unfortunately.

Just a little bit more time to kill, and I happen across an intriguing cafe, which seems to have little more than a white wall, a La Maazocco, a Vittoria Ardino, and a bunch of different #SpecialtyCoffee. They had run out of batch, but I had plenty of time to wait as they brewed a fresh batch. This one is a @single_o washed Zambia coffee tasting of bergamot and sultanas.
It's been an enjoyable morning revisiting my #CoffeeHunt addiction. Should do this again sometime #CreAsionHarrisSt #Sydney
"Both these coffees, are for you, by yourself?"... I've been gone far too long. The dbl shot of the @coffeealchemy single of the day was nice, but very close to a mainstream espresso blend. Smooth, mellow, but with no real highlights. The batch brew, one of their North Africans, on the other hand was an enjoyable light lemon honey, almost on the lemon myrtle side of the fence. An interesting and somewhat refreshing coffee. 😁👍#CoffeeHunt #Sydney #SpecialtyCoffee
With my morning meeting pushed back closer to lunch, looks like I have time for an old school #coffeehunt and the first stop is #normcore
The vibe is the same, the coffees are delicious, but it's missing a bit of the @chanhohong tornado 😁. Awesome to see that this is still a great Cafe to recommend in the #Sydney #SpecialtyCoffee scene 😁👌

Back in the early 1980s my senior high school class went to see "Death of a Salesman", starring the legendary British-Australian actor Warren Mitchell, in Sydney. I wasn't able to go as my family was too poor to pay for the school excursion. It is probably the school experience that I most regret missing out on. The next day all of the other students who went (even those who were not really into literature/theatre) were raving about how good it was & Mitchell's brilliant performance as Willy Loman.
I'm sure Anthony LaPaglia will do an excellent job portraying the tragic salesman on the Australian stage. #theatre #theater #AnthonyLaPaglia #Australia #Sydney #DeathOfASalesman #ArthurMiller #WillyLoman #play #stage

I grew up in the Surry Hills rag trade of the 1970s & 80s (and the artist-run spaces that took over in the 90s & 00s). This article is a good summary of that history.

I recently found out that in some councils around Sydney, residents can request a street tree for their nature strip.
Some of the councils that mention a request process on their website include:
* Campbelltown City Council
* City of Parramatta
* City of Ryde
* The Hills Shire Council
* Randwick City Council
* Sutherland Shire Council

One of the great pleasures of cultivating a home #garden is the daily ritual of #foraging fresh greens for lunch.
I wandered down to pick some greens and give the tadpoles their daily feed (cucumber slices). Yes, although it’s almost winter here, native frog tadpoles are still fattening up, ready to metamorphose next month. But also attracted to our pond this time of year are these gorgeous Eastern Billabongflies.
And today, like most days this past month, I spent timeless moments of pure joy watching our fleet of blue damselflies flitting about tasting flowers, veg and each other, then resting satisfied in the warmth of the low sun.

I've integrated the available data by age into my detailed daily case report.
For NSW, VIC & QLD, the report analyses PCR and RAT reported cases by age group, with detail by day. Each state uses their own "creative" age groups. QLD's is the most detailed (buckets of 5 years up to 100+), which is more useful for specific comparisons but harder to get an overall picture.
NSW & VIC Data is usually weekly on Fridays, with the NSW data typically lagging an extra day. QLD data is usually published on Wednesdays.
If you are disappointed by the data provided by your state or jurisdiction, please contact your local health department and elected representatives and let them know.
As with the detailed case data by location in that report, I've derived metrics like Reff, 7-day averages and per capita. I've switched from per 100K to per 1M, for consistency with my other reports.
Here are some sample outputs, showing higher case rates (per capita) in elderly Victorians, and higher case rates in older QLD school-aged children.

My 2c on yesterday's light rail fatality:
Sydney's coupled trams are way too long and a tragic accident like this was inevitable. The gap between the trams is inviting. Honestly, after a few too many beers at 17 years old i would've done the same thing.
Good design encourages safe decision making. Anyone who knows anything about #OHS knows that signage is your absolute last resort for controlling a hazard. You don't open a brand new bespoke system that relies on signs to stop people climbing across the gap between cars.
#TfNSW should have introduced slightly longer, uncoupled trams at a greater frequency in the first place. As I understand it the only reason they didn't was RMS concern about tram volumes slowing car traffic at Cleveland St and Alison road.
Accidents happen, traffic is inherently dangerous but this one could have been avoided with more thoughtful design choices.

That’s it - all the bike parking at the largest train station in Australia, Sydney Central.
It has a capacity of 12 bikes (maybe?), does not have any lighting, is not undercover, and doesn’t have any CCTV. The only person nearby was a smoker in the corner.
The only bike there has been disassembled by thieves. It’s name? Copenhagen 😂😭

The City of Sydney is offering a guided bike ride from Green Square to Coogee beach, Saturday 25 March from 9am to 12pm. See the link for details
> This guided ride to the beach is at a relaxed pace, with the round trip of approximately 19km. You will have time to enjoy a coffee or ice cream before the return journey to Green Square. The low pressure route follows the historic tram route to avoid the steepest of the hills.

How lucky am I? On my morning walk around #Sydney, walked right past some art by one of my favourite artists, #RyojiIkeda (alongside the International Convention Centre). From the ICC website: “Data.scape, 2016 LED screen, computers, loudspeakers 9,600 x 400 cm”.
Hello #Sydney, it’s been a while. Your airport #publictransport, and ticketing system (where I simply had to tap with my #AppleWatch) put Melbourne’s offering to shame.
Dude walking out of the convention center near the tram stop: “I don’t get #Melbourne. I’ve been trying for years.”
Eccentric looking man alighting from tram: “Go back home to #Sydney, you wanker!”
First dude: “I bloody well will!”
