Apec

[simon275]

All the APEC leaders are meeting this week in Sydney. For those who don't know what APEC is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APEC

Basically all the leaders of the major Pacific nations.

Security in Sydney is tight. With 1000's of police, federal police, troops and secret service here tensions are high.

The city has been fenced in with 3 miles of reinforced fencing.

Bush arrived a few minutes ago and the rest of the leaders will arrive soon. I listened into Sydney air traffic control and heard Air Force one been bought into land. The media though filming the plane landing live had no idea whether the plane was air force one or the decoy so the news people where uming and aring for like 5mins while I was laughing being smug in my knowledge.

I then managed to grab this image of Bush's motorcade moving through the city from a traffic camera.

And to help motorists to see what the traffic is like our roads and transit authority provides web viewable versions of there traffic cams. Here (http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/trafficreports/index.html)

At every APEC meeting there is a photo op where all the leaders dress up inthe host nations national dress. Since Australia doesn't have a single nation dress no one knows what the leaders will be wearing for the photo. So to play around with some ideas the major newspaper in Sydney has released a dress up bush game. Where you can dress up bush in all manner of Australian swag.
