St. Andrews Cathedral, Sydney CBD

Literally a church atop an underground train station, St Andrews was consecrated in 1868 and is strategically located near the Town Hall section of Sydney CBD. It was visited by Queen Elizabeth II in 2006 and continues to be in the centre of lively activities, surrounded by swirling crowds of shoppers, office workers, lunch goers and tourists. It maintains a Chapter House, school and choir, with significant building restoration undertaken in 1999 and 2000.

          Never lack of time for a refreshing dip into the water, to then watch and stare, as the world goes by.

Effort, talent and market exposure - an enterprising band buskers at teh corner of George and Liverpool Streets on a weeknight.

           Past Arncliffe on the Princes Highway, heading south past semi-industrial blocks in the city's south.

And mankind tries to shape his vision and will on the Earth.

The Art of Making Murtabak

Above is the final product, accompanied by three different types of South Indian curries - chicken, vegetarian and lamb with potatoes. The murtabak - crispy bread with fillings of minced lamb and aromatic onion - is a meal by itself. All this for under AUD11.

The fillings are placed ready to be wrapped up once the fresh dough translates into a delectable bite of roti.

Swirling the dough on to the hot plate - the very first step of making murtabak.
