068 - Sydney Australia
SHOW NOTES - episode 068: Sydney Australia 
Australian Army conducts military exercise through Sydney low level flights and buzz podcast star Matthew Holden Hilton Hotel in Sydney - recent renovation of A$300m and the rooms are still small! Happy Birthday to Samantha and music by Jesta and Craymo.
ARMY: Members of the Australian Army conducted low level flights through the central business district of Sydney and buzz Professor Poddy Matthew during an interview. Most interesting to have your windows shake with the thump-thump-thump of the rotors from Army S-70ABlack hawk helicopters from the Australian 5 Army Aviation unit.
It is always interesting to see the Australian Army increase its vigilance and anti-terrorist capability especially when it enables the Australian Special Air Service (SASR), which is the most likely the equivalent of the United States Army Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) — commonly called Delta Force.
PITT STREET MALL. Pitt Street Mall is the pedestrian section of Pitt Street in the CBD of Sydney, Australia. It is one block long between Market Street and King Street and is one of Australia’s busiest and most cosmopolitan shopping precincts. For PodAsia listeners and tourists this is one important travel destination to visit. Take your PodAsia loaded onto your iPod and see what happens!
There are many flagship retail chain stores, including Myer and more than 600 specialty stores within two city blocks. Most retail stores are located in a number of the shopping malls that occupy the majority of the space in the Pitt Street Mall, including Westfield Centrepoint, Imperial Arcade, Skygarden, Glasshouse, Mid City Centre, Westfield Sydney Central Plaza and one of the oldest shopping centres of Sydney, The Strand Arcade.
PodAsia favourite beer in Australia. James Squire Amber beers capture the taste and appeal to any worthwhile PodAsia listener. They truly are great beers and we do not know of their availability overseas. Great beers for travelers and a staple range. Try James Squire Amber Ale, James Squire Pilsner, James Squire Porter, James Squire India Pale Ale and James Squire Golden Ale. If you are in Sydney you must try these beers. Originally they used to be a boutique brewery under the brewship of Charles "Chuck" Hahn but now they are more commercially available - hopefully they won’t become too commercialised and loose their way - remember Samuel Adams!
Must see. Sydney, Melbourne and Docklands. WEB ADDRESS: 22 The Promenade King St Wharf Sydney NSW 2000 Australia.
