I spent a week in Melbourne during a longer trip to Australia and NZ and despite not liking big cities that much I completely fell in love with the place. Easy to navigate, everything is within walking distance (I don't think I used the inner city free tram once or public transport at all for that matter) clean, modern and great balance of cultural diversity. One of my favourite memories was visiting the botanical gardens and looking back at the skyline. Also st kilda beach is really cozy and clean. Will definitely visit again despite the 24 hour journey.

一人做事一人当 In legal systems, you cannot lie about your crime (perjury), you cannot habour a criminal (habouring), you cannot help a criminal to commit a crime (accomplice), you cannot help to hide information-assistance before-after a crime (accessory), ... you cannot stand-in for the offence or crime. You cannot give the excuse that you own a child (slavery, seperate business entity, ignorance of the law is inadmissible as a defence) and therefore have a right (no such right) to murder him-her (still considered similar to other murders). Those who find excuses along these lines which are internationally accepted are to be classified as stupids-idiots-morons.

When the politicians are illegal, you can report to the police. When the police are illegal, you kill the police. You don't be an idiot and make reports to the illegal-police (contradiction, law spawns police and empowers the police via the people). Don't be a moron and call yourselves police when you are performing criminal-deeds. Example, america had not been voted by every person in the world to be the police of the world (not empowered) but consider themselves to be the police of the world (idiots) and use this as an excuse to commit crimes against humanity (illegal-police is contradiction, retards)

If you had been reasonable to yourself, you would had asked yourself about your own suffering of, the harder you try (mental-locked dementedness), the harder you fall. Hypocrisy makes people blind. The more you attack others = the higher your attrition rates The heavier the heft-of the attacks (example minimum jail sentence for each type of crime) = the more you suffer and the higher your attrition-rates Too stupid(conceitedness) to be reasonable.?

The Yarra River is like that for good reason. The whole south side of the river used to be alluvial swamp and the plant are no longer there to filter out the silt and nutrients. So the places you like there have emerged from draining all those marshes and billabongs. I think I'd prefer things as they were...

@MelodyMan69

The soil in the Yarra River was contaminated many years ago. Upstream from the City is an area that was the "Rag Trade". Cotton dying in particular where dyes and industrial waste was discharged into the river. So to fx it now requires dredging the bottom. Governments have avoided that. Further up the Yarra River is pure clear water. We have a joke that says : The Yarra runs upside down, the bottom is on the top. 🇦🇺

Good morning sir 😂

Melbourne was once very diverse, now it's China. I miss the old Melbourne from back in the days. Early 2000 till 2017 it was great. Now, all you see is the Chinese. Even shops like Myer are being taken over by the Chinese. Banks and shops are only hiring Chinese salespeople who can barely speak English. It's painful to deal with them when you walk into high-end shops like Myer. I don't understand why Chinese people being from a highly developed country like China is flooding this country. I understand why people from poor, underdeveloped countries move here, but not sure why people from developed nations move here. China is a well-developed, rich nation. Even the Indians left during the pandemic. Now it's mostly just the Chinese.
