The Olympia Milk Bar is a cultural icon situated on Sydney's main traffic artery, Parramatta Road , Stanmore . Considerable folk lore has built up about the aged proprietor and the unusual hours of opening of the Olympia. The interior of the Olympia is much like a time capsule, albeit a quite poorly lit one. The owner is the inspiration for the song "Dr Death" by Sydney garage band Sheik The Shayk. [http://www.uow.edu.au/crearts/staff/macris.html Anthony Macris authored a novel (Capital, Volume One) which featured an exhaustively detailed description of the premises [http://jacketmagazine.com/12/macris-olympia.html]. |
