(It takes posts about my beloved home city to bring me out of the lurker woodwork - hello!) I always have a small aww when overseas people always vote Sydney simply because its all people seem to know. Then when they visit, many are suprised to find they prefer Melbourne. Lakeyboy, its great to see you giving props to Melb so much! Your CJ is very nice. Melbourne has it all - great weather, wonderful culture, active music scene, coffee to die for, parks galore, amazing architecture. I wouldn't live anywhere else. Sydney might be the face of Aus, but those in the know, know Melbourne is its heart and soul
