Kings Cross is a wild mixture of prostitution and crime, with stylish restaurants and hotels. It has visitors of all kinds and although has some slightly run down areas has a certain quality to it as well.Kings Cross is also home to one of Sydneys oldest areas, Wooloomooloo. Here, opposite the Artspace Gallery, you will find Harry's Cafe de Wheels, open for 18 hours a day, started in 1945. It is a must visit on the way home after a night out.

The soul of a nation is frequently defined by its outlaws. We'll be talking at lenght in the future about the likes of Ned Kelly, but tomorrow we'll just have a look at present day criminals and their portrayal in various media (but mostly films).
Have a look at the clips below to get the feel of Kings Cross, but this bit will be done as my presentation, so you don't really need to prepare any answers.
But you will have to do a bit of work for topic #2 ;-)
2. Kangaroos
I expect each team to find 2 unique facts about kangaroos. Don't just copy what you can read on Wikipedia (it's blacked out today anyway, so you can't use it); instead browse the net and find some trivia that may be surprising for the memebers of other teams. Shake them a little, give them a good ride for the points! I'll be awarding originality.
3. Kids' TV programmes and books
The Wiggles is the most popular show for kids in Australia, and normally it looks like that:
(It's a TV programme, but here you have a clip of Wiggles in concert).
Sometimes the Wiggles are much more demonic than that, but you'll have to come to the class to see why ;-)
Finally go here to read about great Aussie literature for kiddies.
