Ita Buttrose / David Wenham

Where else will you see those two names together in one place? Only here at Sydney Celeb Watch!

Read carefully kids ~ there’s a brainteaser at the end.

Ita Buttrose

The matriarch of Australian media, Ita Buttrose, was spotted yesterday in an eastern suburb of Sydney.

Ita was seen leaving a restaurant with a group of friends (family?). She was wearing dark glasses, and a fashionable outfit of simple black top and bottoms. My girlfriend and I were travelling on public transport at the time, heading home after a morning of shopping.

Ita is an icon in Australia, having been the editor of Cleo and the Australian Women’s Weekly magazines. Her major period of public prominence was the 1970’s and 80’s, and she was behind many campaigns to increase awareness of public health issues such as AIDS.

Find out more about Ita at her Wikipedia entry.

David Wenham

As my girlfriend and I were jogging through our local park, we spotted internationally known Aussie actor David Wenham.

I didn’t recognise him at first ~ he was dressed in a blue baseball cap, a blue parka and jeans. He was walking towards us, muttering and gesturing to himself in a way that made my GF think he was one of the local nutters. Then we realised he was actually rehearsing his lines! Possibly for a production at one of the nearby local theatres?

We had both spotted David before, please see my last post on this famous actor for his bio.

Brainteaser: Can anyone tell me, other than both being famous Australians who live in Sydney, what these two Australian personalities have in common?
