    Ah, but the F1 circuit is in Victoria ;)

    And a beautiful circuit it is too (swoons).... Will your daughter be there in time for that? My cousins go to the penthouse of a tall building in St Kilda and watch from there.

    Never ever say that to a South Australian. Losing the Grand Prix to Melbourne is their Bodyline.

    Melbourne is a very nice city in my very limited experience. I'd love to live there for a bit.

    That must be why I liked it so much.

    It's also the only place I've been in Aus where you can reliably get a decent coffee. Sydney coffee is terrible mostly.

    What I like most about Melbourne vs Sydney though is a shorter fly season.

    Sadly no. All good things must come to an end. They are in Bendigo, Melbourne and area atm and managed the first day of the test and will go to the 20/20. Son was there 2003/04 and got to 4 of the RWC first round matches, and was in a Sydney Aussie pub for the final!

    I have a friend who used to Marshal the GP there in the 90's and I have 2 t shirts to prove it :cool:
    Murphy was an optimist!!!

    Don't go to Queensland then. Fly season there seems to be 27th June-26th June.
