We're under house arrest...

Greetings from Sydney under lock-down!
Dubbya is arriving within in the hours for the APEC summit, so Sydney is in a state of high alert and we've been given Friday off as an APEC public holiday. The only trouble is you can't go anywhere you'd like to (opera house, shopping etc) without stringent id checks... and they've errected this bloody huge fence around the CBD to keep the Bush-haters away.

Going to work was like picking my way through Beirut this morning... welcome to the Harbour City!
