Summary This week Griff is in our neck of the woods as he visits Sydney, a city where people work to live and live fabulously well in what Griff describes as "surely one of the most beautiful locations in the world".Sydney came into existence as a British penal colony scarcely 200 years ago and Griff asks if this may have given the city an identity crisis.Griff's 24 hours in Sydney starts on one of the city's beautiful beaches at five in the morning. He explains that before Sydneysiders put on their business suits for the day, they like to put on their bathing suits and spend quality time on the beach before work. These breakfast swims are also an opportunity for something else - sharks. Griff joins the team of Surf Watch in their helicopter as they scan the sea for potential danger. Then they spot a great white and a swimmer heading straight for it...PRODUCTION DETAILS:Executive Producer: Mike McDowell. Produced and directed by Harry Hook
