Walk on Water
One thing I love about how organized Australian cities are, enough for any first timer to get around, is that you can find how to get from point A to point B online. There's StreetDirectory.com.au that pin-points you to the exact location based on address. And there's 131500.info - for all Sydney public transportation - which tells you how to get to and from your destination via the addresses or landmarks.
So, I'm looking at 131500.info on how to get to an interview destination tomorrow which is in North Sydney across the harbour. I decided to choose to leave from East Balmain wharf to take the ferry across, and gave those details. It gave me four options. One of which made me laugh so hard...
It suggested me to walk to the wharf across the harbour that's only 1.4km away, I'd be able to arrive at my destination in over half an hour.
Gawd...

Maybe it's a good omen for the interview if they think you can walk on water. ;-)

Was it actually telling you to walk on water or is the walking just one of the few ways to get there on foot, by walking on the ground? LOL
1.4km isn't far by Aussie standards and you could easily get there within half an hour. Australia = lots of walking and public transport or lots of petrol. Take your pick! ;) I walked so much when I studied in Adelaide, I swear my leg muscles could rival Xenia Onatopp.
Also, I left rambly messages on your wedding section's tagboard. Looking forward to more updates as you start a new life in Sydney! :D
