Sydney has a population now of over 5 million and growing by the hour. Way way way too many!!

We should ditch the preferential system of voting too.

Melbourne is predicated to surpass Sydney by 2020. Probably after what's left in Sudan arrives I'd say.

:Hi

So glad to be in Ballarat and no longer in Point Cook.

It's turning into an end-of-the -line grotto.

Prior to moving to Ballarat, I was living in St Kilda.

Not much better.

Victoria is a lot different to New South Wales. I was born in Victoria and lived in Sydney for 15 years and I could never understand the hatred that Sydney had for Melbourne football. I have never been to a football match and do not watch it on TV but what ever I wore to work, "they" attributed it to the VFL (as it was then).

Melbourne is, or was, a different type of city ...classier somehow ... Sydney was more the flamboyant type of City. I am talking "way back" ...

Still, country Victoria is a lot different to country New South Wales. There are some very special places in Victoria that I would want to visit before I die ...

Ballarat should definitely be on top of your list Nef.

It's city, with a country kinda personable feel.

Re-football ... the feeling is mutual, Melbournians call Sydney football players "bum sniffers"
