And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
When I went to Sydney on Rest and Recuperation leave from the war in the old Republic of Viet Nam (I love saying, "the old Republic"!), they were still working on the opera house, and it wasn't yet open to the public.
I made it to Sydney in Sept of 68 on R&R as well. Somewhere I have a couple of photos of it along with the Sydney Harbor bridge. Stayed at the Crest? Hotel.
