NSW truckies take it slowly in protest

It's all about the rising cost of petrol these days, though if you think you have it tough spare a thought for our truckies.

A convoy of disgruntled NSW truck drivers took their rigs and grievances to the F3 freeway on Tuesday in slow protest of rising fuel costs. They left the Caltex Service Station at Warnervale on the central coast before driving down the freeway at speeds of between 60 and 80km/h.

The increase in fuel costs has some drivers spending as much as $500 a day!

Couple wed on Sydney Harbour Bridge

Fearful one of them might take the adage "Taking the plunge" literally, a Scottish couple wore harnesses as they exchanged wedding vows atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Tuesday.

Stephen Tierney, 27, and Claire Tullan, 28, from Glasgow, exchanged tuxedo and wedding gown for more appropriate jumpsuits, given the somewhat unfortunate weather.

Their hair and clothes may have been dampened, though their spirits seemed high. 134 meters above the harbour, to be exact.

Sydney submerged in fog

If you were having trouble seeing your hand in front of your face this morning, you weren’t alone.

Sydney was beset with fog so heavy it closed down Sydney Airport and caused the cancellation of all ferry services on Sydney Harbour this morning, save the Manly Jetcat.

SMH.com.au has some amazing and eerie pictures; well worth a look provided the fog around you has lifted.

What if George Street were car free, populated by pedestrians and cyclists, while the freeways were buried underground?

This is but one revolutionary concept delivered in this impressive 3D fly vision of the City of Sydney in 2030.

Google's photos of Sydney go all fuzzy!

Much of Sydney's CBD as it appears in the satellite images on Google Maps Australia has been fuzzed out, just weeks before the APEC summit.

Google says the imagery was downgraded as a result of a "commercial issue" with a supplier, but the move has aroused speculation it was done at the request of police in order to minimise the risk of a terrorist attack during the September summit, where Sydney will play host to 21 world leaders including U.S. President George W. Bush.

Google has in the past been accused of censoring its maps due to national security concerns by governments, most recently in June when it updated its maps of Washington D.C. but maintained older, blurry images for most of the downtown area.

Users of Google Maps Australia could previously zoom in for satellite views as close as 25m above the ground in much of Sydney, but now maps of the CBD are blurry even when zoomed out to 300m.
