Imagine having flesh eating sea lice....lol.


Huh?

I love Melbourne!
I stayed in a lovely hostel in St kilda . Went out for dinner and got offers for sex for cash each street corner I crossed Grin

Oppps....bad suburb but great location and nice clean hostel


My understanding is that Melbourne's St Kilda = our Kings Cross. Undecided

I used to swim all along that side of the Bay years ago.
I'm pretty sure it's a lot cleaner than it was back then.
Plus, those bugs look like they hang around 'dead carcass'.
So basically that guy has gone for a swim where something dead underwater had attracted all the worms, bugs and such. They obviously latched onto him.

I reckon the Police should investigate.
Might be a few dead bodies underwater ...slowly being pecked, nibbled, sucked away.

Bit like what Melbourne calls a beach. More like a back lane in Lewsham Smiley

Not sure about the original article, on prices Sydney pretty much out grows the rest of the country consistently, what they call a crash is just low growth. I live the area of Sydney that has consistently higher growth then the rest of Sydney..... last year we had 21.8 % growth.

Beyond this I find Melbourne just dull but they make nice coffee.
Visually and functionally its just bland.

As for the beaches I live on the Northern Beaches my favourite is Long Reef, its a real surfers beach and the westies don't go there.

You rarely see more than a few hundred on the beach, on the other side of the headland is Collaroy Basin with great views and fishing

https://airviewonline.com/gallery/view/35332/collaroy-basin-and-long-reef

On beaches in Melbourne they don't come close.

I would like to go fishing down in Vic for the best tasting fish (King George Whiting) and the really big Snappers they get down there but that is not Melbourne Smiley

Well, I went to Melbourne for the first time in over 10-15 years, a few weeks back.

Besides seeing Bobby walk past me around 5-6pm  Grin Wink

I must say that Melbourne has turned out for the worse.
Over-populated, especially with taxi and traffic!  Shocked
It's no longer 'spot the white person', more like trying to 'spot the Greek' amongst all that foreign new immigrant influx. Blacks, Yellows, Browns and Greens are everywhere.
Hardly anyone around wearing AFL fashion (obviously a minority of just 100,000 die hard fans).
Skyscraping buildings everywhere now and the Yarra crossed by many walkway bridges. Everything seems 'closed in' and oppressive, like a desperate bid to shove as much into a shoebox as one can.  Roll Eyes

Again, it's no different to Sydney.
It's another city that has become a lost cause.

Sydney is full of Yellow people by majority
Melbourne thinks its part of Asia for starters  Roll Eyes with its obsession with Sport.
(after a while, the average conversation of 'sport' in Melbourne becomes very boring and one wonders if Melbournians even know where Australia is? Huh)

If you like Sydney or Melbourne, then you probably like existing like a Gay or a Redneck, either way - they're both the same (s***, different smell).
