Nice to look at, horrible to indulge.
A sprawling, openly fun, flamboyant yet hollow and unsophisticated city with its heart stuck in the 80's that focusses upon itself as central to Australia due to it being the largest and most photogenic city in the country also the southern hemisphere. The focus is upon a wonderfully iconic looking bridge that suffers bottleneck traffic and an amazingly unique looking Opera House that is unfortunately acoustically unsound along a chic bay of houses throwing up millions of wasted dollars in Ken Donesque architecture.
Better off looking at a postcard than paying for the airfare.

Forester #1 - That fulsome log looks great for the fire, it'll be heavy. The best I've seen in the southern hemisphere!
Forester #2 - No, methinks it'll be light. It looks great from afar until you get closer and can see that it's been hollowed. It looks a tad Sydney to me.

Similar to the 80's Olympic chant of "U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!", derived from the 'Oggy! Oggy! Oggy!' original. A highly embarrassing chant enjoyed particularly by Sydneysiders during the 2000 Sydney Olympics ad nauseum. Also used at the Cronulla beach wars. The chant was used to conjure up corny, smiley gung-ho 'Australianess' as opposed to being "un-Australian". When sung backwards, sounds like:
-"White Australia policy!"
-"Bring it back!".
-"White Australia policy!"
-"Bring it back!".
