Being overseas I'm reminded once again that cafe culture and laneway art is really not unique to Melbourne and yet it's spruiked here as the best thing since sliced bread.
I always found that really kind of, I don't know, a bit sad I guess? It's all we have to celebrate culture wise in a way. Or I'm misreading the vibe.
Nah there is always something going on in Melbourne. Cricket, Australia Open, Formula One, Moomba (usually), Comedy Festival, AFL, etc etc. Then there are dozens of little festivals throughout the year. Plus there are several theatres and concerts always happening.
You don't really see it all when it's all you've known. But it's a lot.
@Nath @ajsadauskas I live in Perth. I flew to Melbourne once with family to watch the Australian Open tennis. Iβve flown to Brisbane and Sydney a few times to watch concerts from international acts that donβt visit Perth. Lots going on over east in the big cities. Enjoy it.
