Apparently they're wading birds from marshlands but they can obviously fly pretty well too when they need to. And they do not seem to be scared of heights.

'Threskiornis molucca'. A lot of folk don't like these birds. They say they smell and they're pests. I know they're keen on rubbish and fast food venues in Sydney, but that is probably our fault, not theirs.

This bird looks pretty clean. It is probably all the rain we've had in Sydney over the last week or so. Where do they go when it is raining heavily?

This is our City Campus Library. It provides access to about 2/3 of our collection. The rest is at our "bush campus" Library at Kuring-Gai.

I like this mix of old and "new", even though this building is now about 30 years old. I think the design incorporating parts of the old Haymarket was done by Phillip Cox. The Library now occupies all four floors and there is a separate learning commons underneath in the old basement that is very popular with students and it was refurbished only last year.

These finally arrived just before Xmas. We've redecorated (after the flood in early 2011) and it'll all be very modern, bright and open. Mostly white and that lime green colour. I'll put up more images when the rest of it arrives.
