It's even sadder when you leave Melbourne for a long time, as I did in the early 90's (moving to North Queensland) and coming back years later as I did to see a final at the MCG and then after the game crossing the road near Jolimont station to see one of your favourite pubs, the MCG Hotel (I used to live right behind it in George st.) had been closed and shuttered. I don't know if it's still closed or gentrified as you say, but I know where you're coming from and like the great music from the past those good old days don't look like coming back.

What a pack of whinging bloody babies. 🤣 I sometimes go to a great hotel in Fairfield. When I most recently went almost 2 wks ago, I got a beautiful crumbed fish meal (several crumbed flathead pieces and plenty of chips), as well as a delicious chocolate mousse for desert, AND got to see 4 great comedians (2 of them are very well known since the 90's, 1 Aussie and 1 known in Oz, UK and Ireland), all for only $75. Some of the locals that were drinking in there around 5-6pm would have been right up your alley, too. There are still some decent places around, if people bother to look for them. And not sit back whinging about one or two places that have decided to keep up with the times, because that also realise that eventually those old guys in their brown cardies, etc, won't be alive to spend their money in their businesses anymore.

Yep Port and Sth. Melbourne. Thompson Street Sth Melbourne in this also. It was used a lot, especially the front of Peter Couchman's house. Remember him? ABC presenter and journo. Crawfords had a huge vinyl tarp sometimes, with huge photo of the front of a terrace house on it. Most terrace places in Sth Melbourne were all the same size, and they could hang this vinyl across just about any house and film from a distance and you would think it was real.

Matlock police? Arguably the most unauthentic police show ever made. Good story lines sometimes, addressing taboo serious social issues, but the "marked" Monaro police car was way over the top as Vic police never had them. Holden were trying to promote the Monaro at the time and provided the car. But they provided the cheapest version with column change and crappy 161 motor. Hardly a good advert for Monaro.

@@125sloth mmmm what can i say Brian? Vic coppers did have a few Monaro GTS V8's in the Mobile Traffic Section which were marked. I have seen them on Google Images from the 1970 period but they were never used by CIB in the country. It was all for the shows popularity combined with the motor bike and it worked well until there was a horrible real life accident while filming a chase involving the Monaro and a young cameraman was killed on the set. Then the VH Valiants took over in 1972 and continued until the very last episode in 1975. A lot of car enthusiasts were impressed with the Monaro though as it attracted a lot of attention.
