Melbourne - worth living in?

Jump to new
Well now, Kennas, that's just fine if you like being stuck inside. I don't.
I like being outside, walking on the beach, gardening, swimming. It's called being active.

In the heat you have air conditioning and pools if you find it too hot.
Much of coastal S.E. Qld doesn't get as hot as Melbourne on their hot days anyway. I didn't have the air con on once last summer.

All I did was say that I personally wouldn't want to live in Melbourne because I find it too cold. I didn't rubbish the city or denigrate anyone else wanting to live there!

Who is this Ethisphere Institute of which the article speaks?

Sound like a bunch of greenie-pinko, dolphin-hugging, Prius-driving geeks. Wouldn't be surpirsed if they fund terrorist organisations. The number plates in NSW say it all. “The Premier State”. Keep that in mind Junior. And Sydney is known as Emerald city. Keep that in mind too.

And all those statistics quoted by Mr. Salt. Remember, statistics are the last refuge of the scoundrel. Or something like that. Actually it might be the NSW parliament, I might have to get back to you on that.

And just look at who had the last word in that article, Paul Keating "If you don't live in Sydney, you're just camping out." I know, if the internet was around then, Mr. Keating would have been well respected on ASF. We should hear his wise words.

Junior, Sydney people don't really read the Fairfax press. Too wet. So 3rd place means about 15 people, and they would be economic refugees from Melbourne, busy now telephoning their new friends in Sydney to say, “See, I told you so...” Tiresome.

Premier State Junior, Premier State. Emerald city.

Now if you don't mind, I am off to queue for food and water at Bondi Junction.
 
I understand the SMH has as much credibility as the Herald Sun. But I knew I'd get a bite!
 
I've got a wedding in Melbourne to attend in early Feb and so I wan to combine it with a mini get away with the family.

Any suggestions for what to do and where to stay?

Want something luxurious in CBD but close to all the action.

What to do? Something suitable for a 18mth toddler?
 
When I was young and very rich I lived in Toorak, and would suggest it for anyone in a similar situation.

There are many old crocs living there and botox rules. This can be quite alarming if waiting for a taxi pissed or otherwise substance affected.

The outer suburbs are populated by the middle class, godbotherers and bogans, so stay within 3-4 k of the CBD and you should be safe.

They have trams too.

How did i miss this thread :dunno: Was born and spent half my life in and
around Melbourne....i hate the place with a passion. :disgust:

Melbourne is good for 2 things, sport and low end (cheap) food...that,s it.
 
Born and bred in Sydney, spent 3 years in Melbourne as part of my Airforce training around 1976. It may have been partly due to it being the first place I was let loose on by myself, but I found it to be a ball!

I only ever saw Melbourne city on weekends, and each weekend was an adventure in escaping the confines of the RAAF base.

Used to love the crazy weather!
 

Why not check out ASFs cousin Travel Forum and see if you can get any info there?

Fair go mate.

We all have times in our lives where we do different things.

I liked as a youth to hang out with the rich and beautiful. I had a ball.

Now I enjoy shooting, fishing and rooting, not necessarily in that order.

I couldn't live in Toorak now, but with your breasts and a bit of botox you might get away with it.

Melbourne has everything, good places to eat everywhere, places to go etc a very good place to live, safe secure and away from global violence.

BUT after visiting Europe I would love to try London or Tuscany, Italy or Croatia that's where the REAL scenery is, Tuscany is just so beautiful it makes you want to cry.
 


You WERE very rich ? tell me more.
