Unlike most other Sports Day staffers, who spend most of their time at venues at Olympic Park, I have spent most of my time down in Darling Harbor. They go to work by bus. I go to work by bus and train. But don't cry for me. The Olympic Park is in Homebush, which is Australian for Grand Prairie.
Darling Harbor is in the heart of a vibrant, cosmopolitan city.
To get to work, I catch the express from Lidcombe Station to Central Station. It's about a 17-mile trip. I don't really know why, but every day we make a different number of stops. I could swear that last night on the return trip it made four stops. The trains are always crowded, but there is never any pushing or shoving.
