I've been researching in Sydney for about a week now. I'm staying with great friends in the suburbs of Sydney. A typical day involves catching a train to Central in the morning for 45 min. and then walking up Elizabeth St. to Mitchell Library (not far from the Opera House and Harbour Bridge).
Today has been fairly productive. I spent much of the afternoon perusing the Sydney Morning Herald microfilm and found a few interesting bits. The NSW Government Gazette volumes have also proved handy. The material is a little dry, but it makes me feel like a true historian/researcher.On a wider interest level, I found an amazing Indian restaurant on Elizabeth St. yesterday. Something like Jaipar? They have outstanding giant samosas. I'm very hungry and will be heading that way soon...

Note: I'm too shy (or lazy?) to photo my food and the library, so the pictures above are courtesy of google searching...
