After I've visited a Stamp, Note and Coin Show in Sydney Town Hall, have been lately investing in Aust predecimal notes from 1913-1966. The notes have brillant colours and its a joy to look to at as compared to coins. I've decided to collect HK, Malaya - Straits Settlements and Singapore bank notes as well. Recently, I have aquired a UNC $10 Singapore orchid note much to my delight. Looks like this is an investment I will keep for years as well as create a permanent hole in my purse.

Today, I went exploring further down Paramatta Road to watch a dutch movie, Black Book, along Norton Street,Leichhardt. The whole street was full of Italian restaurants which my friends have mentioned that this place is like a mini Italy. This WWII film was very engaging and full of suspense much to my delight. Along the way, I have tried guessing who's the ultimate traitor but I was wrong. This movie really shows the realities of the atrocities committed by mankind and war brings out different faces of a person and their allegiances. Highly recommended to watch!!
