I was a day out.  The dancing Dragon passed down Hay St today with the
spectators partially blocking the road.  A couple of police vainly trying to
get the crowd back on the footpath.

To-morrow, Sunday, a Chinese New Year parade from Sydney Town Hall to the
Entertainment Centre, starts 11:00, down George, Liverpool, Sussex and Hay
Streets.
