A handful of photos and 2x30sec videos of Sydney's first Flash Mob are available from:
http://roger.mindsocket.com.au/images/sydmob/
For the videos to work properly, you'll need a DivX 5.0.x codec. Get one from http://www.divx.com/divx/ (see link halfway down page). You'll also need enough patience/bandwidth for a 3Mb download for each video.
They aren't great, but you get the idea.
Enjoy

If you want to see the stunning effect of the Disperse phase of the flashmob, check out this link... http://sydmob.com/Sydney%20Mob%201%20Hi%20Band%202.WMV
You'll need Windows Media Player to view it and be warned it is 3.4Mb, so only attempt from work or from home if you have broadband...

Or read them here. Please be sure to follow all guidelines...
SYDMOB #2
On the morning of Saturday 6th of September, you should have already
synchronized your watch to the time at the following site
http://www.timeticker.com/main.htm or alternatively, use the telstra clock
available by calling 1194
By 11:20am you should be in the inner city, go to Central Station and make
your way to the Devonshire Street underground pedestrian tunnel, emerge at
the Devonshire street end.

Within the vicinity of 'Ibero American Plaza', you will find the mob rep.
Look for a person with a sheep. Once located ask the question "Got a
ticket?" and then receive your instructions. Move away, read it, then follow
them.
