IMHO the only good things to come out of melbourne:

1. Grand Prix
2. Stingers
Ahem.. there are still ppl old enuff to know where the grand prix 'came from'

gotta give it to perth for gr8 beaches tho... QLD beaches 'look' awesome you just cant swim in them cos you get sucked back to NZ or stung by one of a 1000 lethel jelly fish!
