    @wobster I don’t have much of an Aussie accent even after 20 years, but I reckon that song gets me the closest.

    The naked ambition of Spencer Tunick – in pictures – See that last photo of the Sydney Opera House? The Snook and I are in there somewhere… https://t.co/44wC2wSdHG


    @geoffwhill It was an incredible morning I’ll never forget… but I’m also happy I didn’t see anyone I know. 😂


    @simonwaight My one worry on the day was running into someone I recognise. 😂

    The article includes his photo from the Sydney Opera House in 2010. Rodd and I are in there somewhere (and we have a print of one of the alternate shots on the day), but we’ve never been able to spot ourselves!
