• Australian Meet: Melbourne.

  Apparently this well-known watering hole can be found, more-or-less, by following these directions:
  
  Go to Flinders St Station.
  
  Stand on the front steps under the clocks.
  
  Look across the road.
  
  No, not at the concrete horror - left a bit.
  
  Left a bit more from the cathedral.
  
  If you are uncertain of exactly where Flinders Street Station is try using Loonytunes description!
  'The one that's painted a tasteful puke yellow.'
  
  No official page appears to have been set up for this meeting of the Aussies and a Kiwi, but you can keep an eye on them in This forum.
