Sydney Australia is famous for the opera house which I'm ambivalent about, and the harbour bridge which is nice but was built by the British. There's a similar one in NYC which is a foot longer but it doesn't have pylons. We also have fabulous beaches and the weather is generally pretty good, although today is cold and wet and summer's already started. We've also got lots of trees and parks and wild animals running around the place. Well, possums and stacks of birds. Not a bad place, really.

I live in Adelaide, SA, and I we're famous for crap things! Apparently it's the most boring city in Australia, and the murder capital of Australia. Joy!! I think we're pretty famous for the Snowtown "bodies in the barrels" murders. Some guys murdered some other guys so they could get their social security payments, then chopped them up into little pieces, put them in barrels and stored them in an old bank vault. I think that's how it goes anyway... So, yeah, come to Adelaide - it's boring as sin and it's quite possible you'll be murdered! Just kidding it's not that bad, I like Adelaide : )

The town where I live now has a long list of famous stuff, but the town where my grandmother came from (Arbroath Scotland) was where the first mechanical lawnmover was invented.
I don't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing!
