For one, you can almost sort of walk or lean against the sails, the platform surrounding the sails is actually a lot bigger etc. etc. Same can be said for the harbour bridge walk.. I'm sure the hike up the virtual harbour bridge sure aint as ardous and hazardous as the one in real life..... Creative license. This is the virtual realm. The icons are recognisable. That's what's important.... Are us Aussie whinjers going to complain that the security cameras / cocktail bars and toilet facilities are out of shape and perhaps non existant ,at the next available opportunity? I hope so!

Are all of those questions asked things that genuine people have put to you at some stage, or another ? I think the last comment is hilarious!! Heehaw! Well done Warda on a challenging build.. I think the reason why they got somebody outside of Australia to build it is because you will be so far away that you won't have to deal with peoples whinjing etc. etc. An Aussie builder would really have to cop it ;) Hi Warda,
