    I have lived in Melbourne and refused a promotion to a permanent position there because I couldn't ever see myself liking the place.

    Really, it has nothing going for it. Abominable weather, a population transfixed by kick and giggle ball, Foster's mock beer, and it's full of Victorians.

    I'm sure you would. It would certainly beat living in Victoria.

    I don't think anyone in Vic drinks Fosters, only interstaters pretending to be from Melbourne

    Don't think I've seen anyone drink Fosters since I watched "The Adventures of Barry McKenzie" back in the 70s

    I don't think you can buy it in Melbourne.

    I haven't seen it on the shelves down here for years - did they stop making it or start selling it up north with a XXXX label on it...

    My understanding is that Fosters is no longer made as a local brew. It is now only made for export and flavoured to suit the target market.

    For that reason it would not sell here.

    Back on topic. You can have your big smokes, lived in one for 45 years and getting out was the second best thing I ever did.

    Living in a town with a population of 3,500 people, no traffic lights, no parking meters, fresh air, cheap land/housing, more laid back living, you can have your Brisbane.
    Dave.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    When living in Canberra it was laid back to a certain degree and fresh air but the parking meters everywhere, it just made going anywhere a PITA.
    In bigger cities life is a rush, I think rat race is the common term.
    The fresh air oh how i like it. Sydney is shocking for this, I love being in smaller towns(not that it is fresh in a mining town)

    Lived in the big smoke (Sydney from the early 60's up to late 82) then moved back to my home State Qld, am now in one of the better parts of it,on the mainland, just west of Bribie Island semi-rural but close to the beach and surf,also close to the shopping precinct of Morayfield

    cheers
