Bush tucker

14th January - Sydney, NSW

Picture the scene if you will; the sun hurries westward, the shadows lengthen, a girl in a funky dress and a long armed tramp search for food. They drop into McDo to use the free bathroom facilities. They pause as they pass Subway to discuss the merits of 'foot-long food'. They enter the atrium of one of Sydney's taller skyscrapers and take the lift to the 43rd floor.

After enjoying a glass of sparkling wine, they tuck into paella spiced ocean trout with caramelised tomato tart and candied garlic eggplant. They sip their crisp white wine and watch the world go by as the restaurant slowly rotates. The cheap-food-in-expensive-resto offer wins out again.

Still, these things cannot last forever. The express lift smoothly brings them back down to earth and minutes later they are seen sitting on a park bench sharing their McFlurry dessert. Order is restored.
