The Highlights of Melbourne
My lean is at such an acute angle that I've just fallen into the idea of buying a place in Melbourne.
My head hurts but I'm very excited now!
Thanks for all your encouragement.
As I'll have to make the decision from Perth, I have established a technique to enable me to know whether the house is in a nice street and what the surroundings are like.
Today dad and I are driving frantically around marking pretty streets (pink) and ugly streets (blue) so that we can know whether it's just a nice house on a crap street.*
Dad has suggested that we spraypaint the streets themselves and view via Google Map, but I thought we might offend people who realise what blue means...
* This map above is a representation only and does not necessarily reflect streets defined as ugly or pretty by me. Any similarities with these streets' aesthetics is merely coincidental.

Ihh! That is VERY exciting!!
I like your strategy...I was driving around Melbourne just yesterday and day dreaming about how I would like to move there too. Unfortunately I don't think it's really feasible for quite a while :\
Sydney just doesn't get it sometimes...or maybe I just don't get Sydney?
