Pretty sure the MCG is a landmark we have down in melb, and the fed square is the biggest waste of money, fucking pointless building.

Back from my visit, noiser and more crowded than before, hard to find a western style restaurant in downtown, many Asian tourists now all catering for them; still like the town even though it has changed so much since I was last there in 2001; the art centre is fantastic!

Stiil my country and my favourite city in Australia!
