Definately. Melbourne has a great feel. And fashion is always part of it. AND it's the home of Crumpler, my favourite bag label.

Somewhat removed from the trams and Flinders St station of a million postcards.....but you've captured melbourne's flair and sophistication really well (plus having been born there and a frequent visitor) I can FEEL Melbourne in my bones, even tho Sydney is "home" now, and has been for 40 years.

Melbourne reminds me of:
-university days.
- Monash University!
- birds that circle round and round non stop above the Arts Centre.
- Yarra River
- Swanston Street
- All the theatres and the shows
- Chapel St, where I used to bunk over.
- Frank Tate House at Dandenong Rd, where I used to stay. Think its converted to some school now.
- Monthly Yellow Tickets!
- many many more....

Not what you'd expect on a typical postcard ... interesting choice.
