Re: The Melbourne thread

I've not been there....I've only been to the Syndal bakery on Blackburn Road....the woman in there is a bit like Mr Benn. One minute the shop is deserted, and the next she's stood right beside...

Re: The Melbourne thread

The further out from the CBD you go, the cheaper the rent....generally. Some area, especially catchments for desirable schools such as Mt Waverley and Balwyn, have skyrocketed in rents and house...
