One of those songs that brings back so many memories personally, and tugs at the heartstrings in a unique way. I think it's these lines:

"I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

All that land and all that water,

for that one sweet promenade"

(and for anyone who ever truly called Melbourne home, I'd say that's a pretty fair trade!)

What Billy Joel did for New York City with "New York State of Mind", I think Paul Kelly does for Melbourne with this song.

This song was featured on Post & I think he recorded it again later on. But it is a song I cherish & have loved it since first hearing it.

@weaselman24 Great generalisation! I'm from Sydney and i think i'm pretty nice, same goes for alot of people that live here.

Sydney is a great city, but you'll find Paul still alive and well, living in StKilda.

[weaselman24]

Sydney is full arseholes.... but as Paul says, when the rain has just fallen in the evening and you're heading down William Street heading towards Kings Cross, it truly does look just like a Post Card. Kings Cross would not be the same without the Coca Cola sign giving the whole place a red tinge.... appropriate really ;)

Acland St cake shops...mmm.

I lived there through the 80's

Great times,great music.

Thanks for the memories!

Just quietly though Sydney is full of wankers now. Would be hard to see the beauty through the popped collars these days.

awesome lyrics.

"And all around me felt like all inside me and my body left me and my my soul went running"

pure joy!
