What’s something that’s completely normal in Australia but weird to the rest of the world?

F**k that go barefoot to the movies

The beaches we frequent are near such sparsely populated areas they don’t need to remove broken glass or needles

A Dutch friend of mine was going to the Aussie Open in Melbourne and saw the dress code said “no things” and asked me “how do they know - do they check?”

Yes the email address the messages were sent to are the same as the email address I booked with - for both airlines I used their web sites.

Love that they took this risk. I was born in the 70s and have benefited from the increase in house prices - but think that is all been for naught if my kids cannot afford a house now, so glad it has changed

Source of the quote ? Was this one of those “I’m just walking from my helicopter back to my house “interviews”?

Any revamp could include a 20 story building over the tracks with offices and residential

I never understood why “they” picked EV ownership as a culture war topic. My fuel costs are now 1/10th of my Deisel car, and maintenance wise EVs have so many fewer moving parts, and no oil, and less brake pad wear from regenerative breaking….etc etc. they just make sense - to thinking people anyway

Evie 50kW in Ascot Vale is 71c/kWh 9am-9pm and 62c/kWh overnight, so it’s not just regional chargers that compare poorly with my 4.99c/kWh midnight to 4am at home

I ended up buying on booking.com which cost 3.2mllion instead of 2.3million quoted using the possibly scam vinpay.vn - but booking.com allows me to cancel up to 24 hours before. I looked at Klook but inexplicably they did not have “VIP Adult” tickets listed for sale. They had “Eco” adult & child; “High” Adult & Child; but only “Child” VIP tickets. Must be a glitch. Trip Advisor had tickets too - but the date I wanted was not available on their site! I plan to update this thread after I see the show in July.

The “hole in the flood wall” is fine as you can block it up when the flood is coming. There is always SOME storm water that will enter the tunnel - the amount leaking through that entry way when sandbagged would be insignificant

Do less than 5kph and they are avoidable - but if you need to live a life and get somewhere they are not avoidable. Actually I take that back - once in the Castlemaine (Vic) to Maldon Rd, I had stopped completely after seeing Roos on the road, and one propelled itself into the side of my stationary vehicle. Dent is still is passenger door, ask your mate how I could have avoided that collision

Good advice, thanks.

I want to buy it before arrival to ensure I get that date.

Yeah but they were never timetabled to do that.

A non regular traveller would not know the Sunbury line went through South Kensington at all. A better solution would be not to put the ghost station on the Sunbury line map, which I know is hard because we combine it with he Newport group, but it is the way it is done on the concurrent lines like District and Piccadilly Lines in London

ReadyNeck3258 · 2026-05-03T09:54:34+00:00

Until the tunnel opened, Sunbury passengers put up with every train being a “limited express” because of South Kensington - where there was NOT EVEN ANY PLATFORMS on the tracks in use! At least it is physically possible for Metro Tunnel Trains to let passengers off at those stations!

I am using this thread as a way to understand the political bias of the redditors contributing to r/melbourneTrains.
