Over at the well-designed sleepybrain.net, the editorial addresses the entirely appropriate question of whether Melbourne is in fact a city of the dead:

?For Jerry Seinfeld, Melbourne was, and shall always be, the ?ass end of the Earth?. Ava Gardner filmed On The Beach in Melbourne and thought it to be ?the perfect place to make a film about the end of the world?. But although the city clearly struggles to satisfy the high-powered tastes of butch celebrities and Hollywood has-beens, it nevertheless contains simple pleasures for those with a little less space between their ears.?

No arguments here.
