i feel like a travel agent saying this but, theres so much to see and do in melbourne, and even more so in victoria. hey ducks, you heard of parks victoria? the organisation that manages all the national parks in vic?

my gym just started the boot camp thing as well. but im not doing it. cant be bothered

i would want to play rock and roll, like maybe songs from the 60s and 70s (and 80s), songs that people will pay to hear. i've played in original bands, and there's no money in it.

that being said, i'd like to start a band and record originals too. studio work.

so basically i'd want to do two projects- one for money and one for art.

anything like that in melbourne?

oh yes. just about every bar or club has live music, cover bands probably dont get as much recognition as new original bands. and a lot of the rock bands coming out now are looking back to the 60's and 70's for inspiration (every heard of "Jet"? i hate them, but they are popular).

you'd just have to keep your eyes and ears open and ask around a few places

Melbourne = "four seasons in one day" weather
Sydney = NOT the center of the universe (as they'd have you believe)

Brisbane = God's own country. I'm not kidding. I'm also completely biased.

...runs and hides!

oh really.....?

Kagen4o4 · 05-02-2006, 05:57 PM

doesnt brisbane have no more than one city block? and a casino with only one room?

Hagar · 05-02-2006, 06:56 PM

You're right about the Casino.
But you're a bit off about the city!

I suppose there are about 15 blocks of serious shopping and light commercial in the City center. That lot's surrounded by about a hundred blocks of commercial and and all the new high-rise residential stuff.

Between the City center (Queen St Mall), Southbank, West End and Fortitude Valley, the whole place has changed sooo much for the better in the last ten years. There's still heaps of new construction going on.

Plus you've got heaps of BIG suburban shopping centres (if that's your thing), easy access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts (and their resective hinterlands)

[/tourism brouchure]

I can't hang too much crap on Melbourne 'cause I've never been there (my other half lived ther for a while). But I've experienced enough of Sydney on enough occasions to know it's not for me.

... and we're about ten years behind Sydney in terms of crime, riots and property prices!

Kagen4o4 · 05-02-2006, 08:39 PM

take all the assholes in australia, shake them around, tell them that every race but their own raped their mothers, and throw them out of a moving car into the streets. thats how sydney was formed.

well not really. but ive never seen race related riots anywhere else in australia.

melbourne "the worlds most livable city", is very pleasant during the day, and a lot of fun at night. with a big casino that shoots huge fire balls every 15min, a cheap ripoff of the eiffel tower and latest tram designs.

My family is in Brissie, I actually cant stand it!!

No offense Hagar, but its really over rated.

Stinking humidity, overpriced, Sunny one day, perfect the next - my arse!!

That said, they do have an excellent rowers club

I love Surfers though.

back in the early 80's I was in Freemantle for about 2 weeks ,
Good times ,
I got a RIDE back to the ship by 2 Aus girls ,
and well I got back to the ship about 3-4 days later,
Weird being introduced to their friends ,
The guys pulled me to the side and said " So You are the current TOY !!! "
All I could was grin and say " Yupp !!! "
They just muttered " Fucken Yank !!" under their breath ans they walked away !!!

So I LIKED AUS LOTS !!!!!
