Rick's Rests 2001-2002 season

Shown below are the highlights from Rick's rests for the 2001 - 2002 season.

The best places in town to rest!

Number 1 HSBC

For:

Has a good view of all the town in every direction
Looks like you're really clever just to get there.

Against:

Big drop off and precarious angles on the roof.
Anti bird wires on the way up can cause you to 
trip on the way up.

Number 2 A1 Food Hall

For:

Easy access and also has commanding views
Not as high as the rest of town.
They sell supplies below
Includes top notch water feature

 

Against:

Top notch water feature!
Gets a bit draughty on a windy day.

Number 3 Top of the Tower 

(By Trevor, Rick's colleague on the scene)

For:
Commanding view of the troops
Great for sunbathing
That 'Seat of the pants' riding experience through town

Against:

Getting garroted by catinery wire
The wind likes to blow up your trouser leg
You have to share it with these showbiz types

Number 4 The Lounge in the Swan

For:
Nothing beats smoking a bacon sandwich rollup on a Sunday morning (Look very closely at the picture and you can see me enjoying this pastime)
Smashing coffee and a super atmosphere
Helps settle the stomach after all that climbing

Against:

Nothing really

Number 5 Switch on day traffic control

For:
Important role to ensure that traffic moves freely around the town
You get to wave your arms around
Certain young ladies from an Amateur Dramatic group come to visit
You get to become one with, and hear voices from 'the cones'.

Against:

Long way from the coffee
Long way from the coffee
Long way from the coffee
Long way from the burgers
