You have to love a city with a 5-minute peak hour! (but then - that was 30 years ago!) Has it changed any?
I like Melbourne, too - I have friends there, but the weather gives me the heeby-jeebies. And there's certain value in baiting MsOlga - who bites with surprising regularity.
But I live in Sydney!
And Brisbane you can keep!

Alas margo the "twenty-minute city" is now a myth and the rush "hour" is now almost a real hour, as in sixty minutes. And they call it progress

We need another thread - "what do you like about each of Australia's capital cities?" There's a lot to like about each one of them.

I suppose since I shot my keyboard off it should be me. I will go and construct it and see what happens

Hey well done, the Socceroos!
I did not see it mentioned on any other thread (though it probably was) and so I wanted to add my congratulations!
Scotland didn't get through this time, so I'll have to support Oz. And England, of course.

On the World Cup - people here are saying that soccer is now spelled F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L - of course when our footy season comes around next winter there will be a hell of a row over it

Yes, I heard a very serious, involved discussion to that effect on the ABC today, gf. "Surely, now, soccer deserves to be called football!"
