OZ +15: An Olympic-Sized Warning...

Amongst the poles which list every one of the thousands of volunteers who helped out at the hugely successful Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, hardly anyone stirs.



It's a bit like a ghost town.

Still government-owned, none of it is used particularly frequently or effectively. The remnants of the only Games in recent history to have actually made a profit now sit underused and underloved, miles away from the centre of Sydney.

The only part to make a profit these days is the bit they sold off into private hands, the Acer Arena. (Dora the Explorer! LIVE!!)

Even the main ANZ Stadium looked a little deserted today...



I bet London won't do any better...
