That is a pristine underground garage, man it would be nice to have enough interesting cars to fill half a place like that. I wouldn't need any other rooms.

$30M of bells and whistles seems kind of wasted on a half-acre suburban lot where several neighbouring houses are approximately arm's length away and you have no views of anything.

Seriously that garage has more square footage than quite a few people's entire home at 1880.

I'm guessing it's $24M USD, and even that is overpriced.

Still better looking than most of the mansions we've seen here, because the architect was constrained by the original 1930s layout. Good bones, so harder to fark up.

It's Toorak. Overpriced is sort of its thing.

Melbourne came very close to being named Batmania, for this reason. We dodged a bullet there. Or missed an opportunity. Whichever.

We're still one of the two largest cities in Australia. We're catching up to Sydney in population. And we know how to make proper coffee, and lay out our streets in an orderly fashion, so our map looks like a neat grid instead of an explosion in a spaghetti factory. (Have attempted to drive in Sydney. Would not recommend.)

When Australia became a nation rather than just a bunch of individual convict colonies, Melbourne and Sydney fought over which was going to be the capital. Until our founding fathers (like any parent of endlessly fighting siblings) said "RIGHT! That's it! Neither of you can be the capital. Not yours. We will find a currently-uninhabited spot halfway between the two of you, and put the capital there."

As a South Australian I'm looking at both of you with a mixture of contempt and mirth.

And how dare you call all of us a bunch of convict colonies :-)  (south Australia again)

The problem is that the traditional energy sources (and water) simply don't line up I  Victoria vs NSW.

You have crummy brown coal, not good quallity black coal. Take coal away from NSW (Sydney) and Victoria (Melbourne) is now the political/industrial center of Australia.

Without your Goldfields you would have never matched Sydney anyway.

//Melbourne will win in in the end, with modern green energy, gas and no land limits (geography)
///Sydney is screwed since it's land limited by the blue mountains (bad geography) and coal has to be killed off.

Canberra has many nicknames - the best one I've heard so far is "Pyongyang in the Bush." The two most popular weekend activities in Canberra are "Going to Sydney" and "Going to Melbourne."

For a state that was not originally a convict colony, you South Australians have had an awful lot of murders, serial killers, unexplained disappearances, long-unidentified dead bodies and other assorted crimes. You are probably ahead of Tasmania on a per-capita basis.

But yes, your climate and terrain are perfect for solar and wind energy generation.
