Re: [Sydney, Cityrail] Friday 17 March Chaos

["Peter R K" <peterrk@yahoo.com>]

I really don't know where you get the idea that the Queen will be at Stadium
Australia on Friday. She doesn't arrive until Friday evening. However, her
Australian representative, the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of
Australia, His Excellency Sir William Deane will be attending - and he is a
Catholic.

My apologies to other newsgroup readers for the completely off-topic reply,
but I couldn't let it go unanswered.
