Other vital tourist attractions are the growing number of people sleeping rough on the streets, watching the cops at Flinders St Station target the African kids, and of course hordes of worthless bogan cunts congesting the city on Friday and Saturday nights.

As for the other Melbourne's of the world I can't say. Probably just as shitty.
Shikata ga nai.

yes indeed, I was completely ignorant of the existence of other Melbournes.

thanks for the in-depth response, definitely some stuff I hope to check out - will be in town for work so not sure which I'll be able to go to but glad to have it all on my radar.
