Judging from the geographical distribution of all and sundry here, there seems to be a disproportionate number of people from that most liveable Oz city 😉, Melbourne. (Pronounced MEL-bn, not mel-born. Can we have a show of hands please?

Including you, some 3 mio people live in Melbourne...
Statistically that gives you quite a few fellow DIY-ers. Probably more than I have in Belgium.
Let's do a
and we'll all feel B-AUSSIES

Regionalism....
And lots of Greeks - Melbourne used to contain the largest population of Greeks in any city outside Greece I believe.
Maybe it still does ?.
Perth and northern NSW are the places to be - Sydney and Melbourne are to be avoided. 😀

Re: Regionalism....
Sinny is just crazy. I'm glad to be out of there.
Perth and the beautiful north are definitely the places to be. it's where all the smart and wonderful people are. Me an' Eric at least.
Melbourne has a great cafe and restaurant nightlife. A great place to hang, and some really nice people. But there's no way in hell I'd ever live there. "Four seasons in a day" one of my Melbournian friends likes to tell me. Yeah, all winter.mrfeedback said:

Well the 4 seasons thing is kinda true, but our summers are as good as the next states thank you.
Melbourne is the place to be, shidney is terrible to live, and i couldnt cope in any other "states" 😀 😀 😀
There are no bars or restaurants that can compare to here, Flower Drum, Georgies, Citrus all come to mind. And of course we are the home of Collingwood!

In defence of Melbourne, Seattle of the southern hemisphere.....
In my 51 years, I have lived in Adelaide, Brisbane, Townsville, Wagga, Singleton, and spend lots of time in Canberra, Sydney, and some time in Cairns, Darwin and Perth.
Melbourne has the cheapest living costs of all the capitals, though in recent times some of the dearest real estate. It has a marvellous road system for a city of 3.6M; almost nowhere is more than a hour away, even in peak hour. I live 14 kms from the GPO in the NE suburb of Heidelberg, and I can be enjoying a drive in the country in 15 minutes.
I love this town for its restaurants and cafes, its huge cultural, ethnic and gourmet variety, and its parks and gardens.
To those who hate the four seasons in one day, I say this: four seasons give you four states of being, four ways of viewing the world. This adds spice and stimulus. Queensland has dull, predictable weather all the time, and it's dead boring.......
I would also say this: to those who complain of variations in the weather at lattitude 36 south, go live in the Northern Hemisphere, where even in the hot areas there is still lots of snow in winter. Try Tokyo, or Minneapolis, or Chicago. Then you know about weather changes from season to season!
We are blessed in Australia, and particularly in Melbourne. I love it here and will never leave......
Cheers,
Hugh

On the international defence of Melb, Ive lived in Japan, Nagoya for a little while, it was so incredibly humid.
Anyone been to Georgio's in Malvern?

The best thing about Melbourne's weather is that rain only causes a delay, never a cancellation. If it's raining, or hailing, all you have to do is wait 15 minutes for the cloud to go away and it's sunny again.
Sydney and Melbourne are very different places, each has their good and bad. But yes melbourne is very affordable, brilliant public transport and freeways, friendly, green. Etc. Sydney has a rougher grimier dirty edge to the city, but man the *real* waves and sea breeze on the eastern side do make up for it.

Four seasons in one day?
How about four brownouts in one day?
As for weather I prefer Perth. Much warmer, much sunnier. The rain isn't too bad, it's just the cold I object to. 😉

To it's credit, Neville Thiele and Richard Small were from Sydney I think. So was Fritz Langford-Smith. The only Melbourne person I can think of is Prof. Edward Cherry of nested differentiating feedback loop fame. There MUST be others. C'mon Melbourne dudes. Put your thinking caps on!
