The Games

And the winner is: Sydney!

Sydney. City of excitement.
Sydney. City of sails in the land of opportunity.
Capital of Australia's most historic and interesting state.

Sydney - host of the 2000 Olympic games. The home of Australia's greatest sportsmen and equally famed for its nightlife, Sydney is preparing to welcome you into its arms. We hope you have a wonderful time in our city. We think you'll love it. As we say here, 'No wucking furries'.

At lunchtime the city bustles as businessmen take a break from the pressure of closing that deal, securing that important contract or failing to use privileged information to their own advantage on the stock market.

Water transport is common in the Venice for the south. It's nothing for Mr Robinson to catch a ferry to and from work, using his powerful legs to propel him over the short distances along the city's attractively designed streets, often within sight of the most famous architectural feature in the world - the Sydney Opera House.

Some take their cars, often manufactured by the burgeoning local automotive industry. While you're here, try crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Regal, ain't she?

Read like a play, this book takes a satirical look at the lead up to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
