Re: Whats the most overrated place in Australia
Simple question really. Place I felt was overrated for me was Bondi Beach.... Just another Beach. I was expecting a hell of a lot more of a retail and restaurant selection I guess. All of the Beach centers along the Great Ocean Rd had more going for them I felt... Even Cowes at Philip Island.
Nice enough beach though.... Along with the 1,000's of others we have here. I've got my hopes up about Byron Bay now... hope that doesnt disappoint.

Oops, sorry are we talking about Oz?

Oxford Circus and the West End maybe overrated .... Even I would say Brighton isn't and thats from a Palace Fan.

I went to see the dish. I thought it was awesome. I photographed it too. Stayed in the local town and ended up dancing with a sheep farmer for the evening. I loved it so much, I went back again last year.

Re: Whats the most overrated place in Australia
Brighton, Melbourne. We went there on a bus, walked for ages to try & find the town centre. Couldn't find anything of interest (although the beach shacks were pretty) Took a pic at the railway station (as we're from Brighton, UK) and then got a train back to the CBD. I understand people pay top $ to live in this part of Oz, but couldn't quite see why
