from the unutterably strange underbelly of the city :p
Was walking down Redfern st yesterday (Sat) and came upon 2 guys in giant kangaroo suits, at least 2 - 2.5 m tall and wearing FLUFFY SANTA HATS.
Had to be on *pogo-stilts* (hmm are there such things? lol) cos every few steps they started hopping, quite competently I might add :) Neither were pissed (yeah just try drunk-stilt walking!) so they weren't xmas-party rejects in recovery mode....
I'm so pissed off I didn't get a photo on my fone. Well I was really too gobsmacked to think of it until later hehe
Another life's lil mystery i guess!

just what I suspected hehe. The hopping was pretty damn realistic...that's some heavy-duty machinery. Bit pricey tho :p
