11.01Picture Comp #002
Nothing profound to say today. So after the roaring success of the last picture comp… drum roll please… Introducing… P.I.C.T.U.R.E. C.O.M.P. #.0.0.2.
1) Which well-known Sydney cafe is this?
You want a clue? Row and I were visiting my sister who lives on campus of a well-known Christian institution in Sydney. From what I know this is a popular cafe even amongst the likes of some of our coffee snobs!
Do you know the one? I gave it a double thumbs up.
2) If you know it… why is it so good? What do you like about it?
Prize for first correct answer (suburb + name of cafe) to question #1 - next time I’m there if you happen to be nearby I will buy you a coffer. To question #2 - you can buy yourself one…
———-
PS - issue #338 of the briefing arrived in the post today. The issue is on the prosperity gospel. I’ve read half of it already. Our Senior Pastor wrote a great article:
A different Jesus — Andrew Heard argues that the real problem with the prosperity gospel lies in its representation of Christ.

That’s clearly Campos - Missenden Rd Newtown…

November 1st, 2006 at 11:27 pm
Campos! a long drive for a coffee dave! Surely there must be quality coffee shops on the coast… but then again???

Looks like Campos. We went there with the same said sister a few months back.

SamR actually introduced me to this cafe - thanks Sam. too good, but I am bit last of the mark for this comp - do I win anything anyway???
November 2nd, 2006 at 10:58 am
I have no idea about coffee or anything, but, from the comments of my learned colleagues, i would assume is is Campos in Camperdown.
November 2nd, 2006 at 11:09 am
if campos is in camperdown - then guthers wins it… but if it is in newtown - the title remains with sam
so what is it??
who can verify which suburb it is in???
ubd
gregories
whereis
etc…

November 2nd, 2006 at 1:12 pm
I’ve had conflicting reports! Try googling campos coffee camperdown… Confirmation?

“Surely there must be quality coffee shops on the coast… but then again???”
I have it on good authority (namely from my coffee-drinking wife) that the coast does not compare to Sydney when it comes to decent coffee. Although she has found one passable cafe apparently…Cafe Jazz in East Gosford.
I wouldn’t know…I don’t drink the stuff

Guthers, you are dreaming.
November 3rd, 2006 at 9:50 am
okay we need someone to mediate…
andy m… you’re a lawyer or something and know the cafe in question
you have until monday to find out the official suburb of campos.
if you fail to get the goods… i’ll have to award an equal 1st place and take simon and sam out and they can share the coffee…
November 3rd, 2006 at 10:06 am
Well I don’t care much for coffee, but according to the official suburb boundaries Campos is in Newtown. This map is the suburb boundaries as used by the ABS for census data.
November 3rd, 2006 at 10:36 am
I put a photo up on my blog that may help…
November 3rd, 2006 at 11:36 am
we have a winner!
guthers - sam made an offer on his blog too…
so you’re welcome to come and share in the spoils!
November 3rd, 2006 at 11:44 am
I concede defeat…
Beaten by a better man.
I’ll take up the offer though - whens the date?
November 3rd, 2006 at 2:04 pm
tomorrow???
November 3rd, 2006 at 2:15 pm
