It has been a gruelling 48 hours in Sydney, as the city
transforms from the safe haven we have always thought of it, to the scene of a
most heinous crime.
A makeshift memorial in Martin Place for the siege victims is being continually moved to accommodate the expanding rows of floral tributes
and cards.
I have lived in Sydney close to ten years now. This city has
been my home by choice and I love it. I came here in January 2005 and I
immediately fell in love. I love its freedom and its openness; I love its
people, its cafés, its culture and its sun-blessed weather.
