Thousands flock to Sydney for papal visit
After five years of planning the massive Roman Catholic festival will finally kick off on Tuesday and run through to next Sunday, attracting more than 200,000 pilgrims to Sydney.
Nuns decked out in habits and brightly-coloured World Youth Day backpacks strolled through the city, as event organisers worked frantically to keep up with the ever-expanding flocks of faithful and Sydney residents steeled themselves for traffic nightmares.
