Jamey and Angelica in action at the Pope's arrival in Barangaroo. Following the Pittsburgh contingent as it scatters through a crowd of 150,000 is daunting, but we got good footage and stills today.
The Australians are very helpful and gracious people and we've enjoyed talking with them and, when need be, double-talking around them to get through checkpoints, lock-downs, restricted areas etc. We just say "We're American Media" and doors open. Then we walk away as fast as possible before they can ask 'Which American media?'"
The Aussies are also admirably plain-spoken folks and do not pussyfoot around in their civic communication, as you can see from the last pic, which is ubiquitous on public transport. Tell it like it is, Mate!

Working for the company that I do, I need to be very conscious of being PC. I loved the sign from the train... I wish we could communicate so clearly without worrying about offending so many sensitive people!
