Cultcha?
As an active - both in mind and body - 70 yr old who is thinking of emigrating to Melbourne to be near (but not too near) son and daughter in law, I've been reading your comments with interest. Although very helpful, my over-riding impression is a negative one. Are there no educated folk or people with cultural interests in Melbourne? Surely not everyone is only interested in sport, eating out and drinking? Of course these play a part in a well-rounded life, but what about literature, music, choirs, involvement in church, an interest in gardens, discussion, film?
I would love to hear experiences from like-minded people. |
Re: Cultcha?
Brings to mind that old joke?
What's the difference between Yoghurt and Australia? Only one of them has a live culture! :D Sorry - totally OT but I couldn't help it! |

On the football side, I am somewhat confused that England haven't scored yet. How late do they intend to leave it? :confused: |

But if England can do the same - or better - it'll make for some great soccer. :) Certainly better than what's currently on offer. :zzz: |

Anyway, returning to the OP - have you ever visited Melbourne? I suggest you do so; and Sydney too. They may surprise you.
Melbourne: A leafy bayside community on the 'upside-down', 'brown' Yarra River, Melbourne is cosmopolitan, suburban, cultivated, conservative and a haven for the avant-garde. Visitors come for its shopping, restaurants, nightlife and sporting calendar, and most agree that it's one of the world's most livable cities. Sydney: Sydney is Australia's oldest city, the economic powerhouse of the nation and the country's capital in everything but name. It's blessed with sun-drenched natural attractions, dizzy skyscrapers, delicious and daring restaurants, superb shopping and friendly folk. Although it's come a long way from its convict beginnings, it still has a rough and ready energy, and offers an invigorating blend of the old and the new, the raw and the refined. While high culture attracts some to the Opera House, gaudy nightlife attracts others to Kings Cross. See also photos attached. |
