Having lived in glorious Berowra for two years, I'm not surprised you can't find any work there! It has one of the best bottle shops in the country, a two-man firestation and, er.... one of the best bottle shops in the country.

Loved it! And now I'm intrigued which of the other 6 people that live there you know!!!
