Summary

A trip to visit Lady Liberty herself. Carlo believes the New York City ports are an approximation of Sydney harbour because the boys took a ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty. It is clearly not modelled on York - perhaps instead it should be called Harbour Town or New Harbour Town. Guy and Carlo discuss possible new names for New York and Carlo is blown away by the size of the Statue “Very tall”.

1:05.0

I don't really see the ways in which they've tried to replicate that the big body of water

1:10.0

and you know it's at the sort of edge of the city you know I understand I suppose in some

1:16.1

respect the confusion you've carried with you in terms of city planning or even you know

1:24.3

cultural parts of the city like you know Broadway for instance

1:28.9

But surely you can't believe in all of your intelligence that Australia has a license to

What I say is this particular port and this particular body of water seems to me to be

1:52.2

conveniently designed to be an approximation of

1:55.9

Sydney Harbour. And what were the sort of what part stuck out to you as being an

approximation of Sydney Harbour? That we took a fairy to the island
