I've never been to Australia but I heard Melbourne is a diggers' paradise. It must be if The Avalanches are from there .....

If you get out to Sydney try DownTown by the opera house.Stay away from King's Cross,there's nothin' down there but strip joints,clubs and Drags.

i think the Avalanches are from sydney
but yeah melbournes a lot better than perth... for pretty much anything.
i hope to move there after i graduate. its kinda crappy living in the most isolated capital city on earth

yeah, I got a kick out of the calls the tourist offices got before the sydney olympics, some guys called saying they wanted to fly in to perth and walk to sydney along train tracks!!! I'd want a featherfoot with me if I was gonna try that!!

walk from perth to syds heh?

walking 20 metres down the street in Perth can be dangerous in the middle of summer. 43 degrees celcius with 0% humidity, man i gotta get of perth.

yeah, just wait till they gotta go through Coober Peddy and fall down a mine shaft or see a "Nuclear Free Zone" Sign.

yeah but im not made of money, and dada's have stopped stocking vinyl just recently. I've just discovered bower bird records across from the Hide Park hotel, lots of cool stuff in the back romm and its all cheap.
