Earlier this month, a report was released listing Sydney as having Australia’s best public transport network. And while it’s true that our public transport system is on the up (with the game-changing Sydney Metro set to open in early August), driving across the city still leaves something to be desired – with privately-owned toll roads making traversing Sydney by car expensive, and often pretty inefficient. And that’s exactly why the construction of the new Western Harbour Tunnel is big news for Sydneysiders – the stretch of tunnel will offer motorists a free-to-use route beneath Sydney Harbour, with an opening date slated for 2028.

We love to see the inventive menus and the décor choices as we get to know another friendly eatery on the block. The Robb Report collates an annual list of the top 10 new restaurants in the U.S., and we’re lucky that this year two of them are right here in the Bay Area.

Come to think of it, Gauna is interested in most anything that swims in the ocean, and he spends a lot of time searching for anything and everything by flying a drone over the sea. This time, though, he decided to get a little closer.
