    Why was it showcasing Regional Victoria? What in regional Victoria is WORTH showcasing? I’m not saying the country is shit, the country is beautiful! but the major towns with the infrastructure to host such this ARE shit. Geelong is a shithole, Shepperton is worse. Bendigo is okay-ish but in the middle of F’n nowhere. Wodonga and Wangaratta both suck. its SUCH a Melbourne idea. As in, someone from Melbourne whos never gone to the country! These towns don’t want upgrades to stadiums. They want better schools and hospitals. And more frequent trains to the city!

      Yeah, if cash is injected into regional Vic, it should be infrastructure and actually improving the towns. Not a ribbon cutting ceremony in front of an aquatic centre that the local council will have to upkeep for the next 20 years.

          New season out on iView - even more infuriating than previously and still amazing.

              I was dying at the fast speed rail that couldn’t actually go fast.

              Glad they had the merch though
