Wonderful! I lived in Melbourne from 1999 to 2004. It was the best experience of my life. And I am 81. I have lived in nine states of the U.S., plus four countries, including Australia, Canada, Japan, and the U.S. Of all the places that I have lived or visited, none of them had the charm, beauty, and comfort of Melbourne.

jecos jecos the issues I speak of stems from the government and the way they are “dealing” with this public health problem. Heavy handed tactics have never worked in the past, I think they’ve blown this whole thing out of proportion. Early this year we had misinformed boarder security which lead to a quarantine scandal. Then in July we started a lockdown because a dramatic increase in cases, perfectly justified in my opinion. Now that cases have fallen equally dramatically we are risking livelihoods to not stress a healthcare system that should have been reinforced when the lockdown started. Now with an average of twelve new cases a day (or there abouts) with fewer than thirty patients in intensive care Australia wide. We are still not permitted to go more than 5km from our place of resistance. Yes we do have issues like the rest of the world but we also have an oppressive government making it just that bit worse.

My father always bought his hats from the hat store at Flinders Street Station. Back in the 30s he made arrangements to met a girlfriend under the clocks, when he turned up he noticed 2 of his girlfriends waiting under the clocks, that’s when he realized he had got his dates mixed up and invited both girlfriends. He then went into Young and Jackson’s and had a few beers until one girl left.

As a child living in South Australia, a friend at school once gave me a copy of one of Cole's Funny Picture Books. At the time, I disregarded it as weird, old-fashioned & filled with terrible, dated humour, but thanked him & shoved it in my collection nontheless. Thirty-odd years later, it's still in my collection and in excellent condition for a book of its age. But despite the last decade or so of actually *living in Melbourne,* I had absolutely no idea about the history behind the book or its eccentric author, until this video. It's crazy to think of the journey that book's taken only for me to unwittingly return it to it's place of origin all these years later.

Sir Les Patterson, Cultural Attache and Minister for the Yarts (aka Barry Humphries) said that Chloe was painted before the discovery of Tasmania. A "map of Tassie" is a euphemism for a lady's pubic region, due to the triangular shape. As a native Melbournian, much like Sir Les, I thought international audiences might appreciate this little snippet. Or possibly is was Chloe who had the snippet.

Tony, Clocks of Flinders WERE replaced with Philips 24" colour screens, and I remember them. Thay did not last long. The public backlash was SO HARD, that the screens only remained long enough that the old mechanical version that was run by a small army of people with long hooks and keys could be replaced by an automatic electrical version much like you see today. The massive TV screens still ran down on the platforms, and in the few under ground stations we have for many years, but the Melbourne Metropolitan Network knew they fucked up mightily when they took the clocks from the corner of Swanston and Flinders.

I'd give up the cell phones a laptops, iPads and crap any day... I liked the old red telephone boxes everywhere. Teenage girls going out on a date were instructed by father's to always carry enough correct change in your purse in case the date turned bad or thecarbrokedown and you needed to use a public street phone to call dad for help or call Police, ambulance, taxis etc. Sound advice and even I followed it, though I had no dad to call (died)andmum liveda few hundred miles away in the bush. But I did use my emergency coins once to call the RACBV when my date's car got trapped in dirty murky floodwaters under a bridge one dark stormy winter's night in Melbourne and we were at wits end, our nice stylish clothes covered in city greasy road sludge and mud. It was our first date and the way we handled this drama so well convinced us we should get cleaned up and dry out and try to have a second date, when, hopefully, it won't rain, again!?! I made sure I carried the necessary phone boxmoney, just incase and told him to bring his sparephone coins, too, just in case the phone box stole my coins without putting me through to emergency help. I also stuffed two towels, soap, two rain coats and some spare underwear and men'ssox in abigger handbag, just in case... It popped open and all the contents skilled onto the pavementashepicked me up in his dad's car. "Just like my mum... Carrying the kitchen sink everywhere...."he commented. "Well,that's fantastic. It means we are made for each other since every son adores his mother...And it means your mum and I will get along just fine..." I replied. "Not my dad, though... He hated mum's stuff she takes everywhere..."he replied. I was running out of conversation and refused to discuss Melbourne's notoriously rotten weather. "How long has he been married?"I asked, for something to say. "Longer than me... About 40 years..." he replied. "The if he stayed that long with your mum and all her stuff you say he hates, he will get along with me, too..." I commented. "Yeah, that's what I'mworried about... And where do I fit into all this?" He mused,as it started to rain again... "Ah, don't go under that bridge again... Remember last time... But, I've brought towels and stuff this time, in case we get caught in another downpour...". And we pulled out a Melways paper street directory that I, with typical female bad sense of direction, unable to figure out North, tried to read to direct him, going all over the place because I wasn't sure where we were going but I just wanted to make sure that wherever it was,there'd be a red telephone boxwithin reach. "Ah... There it is!" I finally screamed in glee when Ispotted the red phone box . "What? Where? I can't see what you're talking about...." He asked, confused. Not surprising, with mysort of navigation skills. "The red telephone box... Bet you didn't know there was a red telephone box there, did you? They must have recently built it. It doesn't show on my Melways map..." He grabbed the map. It was the wrong map... "I thought you agreed to go out to dinner with me, not red telephone box spotting... Close the Melways. I know where we'll go and how to get there... Don't worry about anything... " And he went straight to where he had wanted to go all along, without my navigational "help" and asked if I liked it,but I really didn't care where he took me because it was him I liked, not wherever he took me and red telephone box spotting as we crossed Melbourne City Streets was as good a date idea as any.. But it was a nice place, with fine food and good service,nice peaceful, stylish decor etc and this second date wasn't as bad as the first one whenwegot caught in dirty murky black city floodwaters and road sludge.

I had a house over the road from where those factories were for the last 20 years. My Grandfather was Chief Warden at Pentridge, just up the road from that house and where those blokes probably spent time on remand for petty theft. They were probably trying to nick a pair of clodhoppers from David Molloy's shoe store on Sydney Road.

The clocks at Flinders St Station WERE replaced by TV screens but not for a long time. Initially they were to stay there but a loud outcry resulted.

Incidentally, Sir Frederick maintained that Perth was a suburb of Fremantle. If we had stayed Down Under we would have opted to reside in Frennmanle.

The greatest thing about Melbourne is the people. Doesn't matter what you like, or what your hobby is, youll probably find a group of like-minded people to hang with. Like to restore pre-war bakelite radios? Im sure there's a group for that.

That’s what they told you. The actual survey and opinion polls are actually private sites owned and operated by leftist globalist/ communists. You ppl have actually no critical thinking. Amazing how all the countries and cities voted are leftist controlled socialist countries and government with the highest taxes.
