I always love to see new wayfinding signs, and this seems to have a digital display for service updates.
But I wonder how long it'll take them to notice and fix the typo. It's Derby Road, not Derby Street. #Melbourne #Caulfield

I think I might do the old 478/479 bus + 59 tram trick to get home from Melbourne Airport after I land tomorrow. Would be nice to travel free from MEL to the CBD, rather than pay a million $ or whatever it is for the SkyBus fare.

🚃 + 🚌

There's a very Aussie bit of carbrain that says, if I've crashed, or broken down and I need to stop, I can either; pull over on the road and partially block "the traffic", or I can drive up onto the bike path and completely block the bike path. One of these is a completely reasonable thing for the aussie driver, one is anathema

subtoot; yes, I met a massive landcruiser towing a trailer that had driven into and parked inside the "safe, separated bike lane" because "I'm FUC*ING FIXING SOMETHING YA C*NT"

Best to worst #Melbourne kroketten:

1) 🏆 Prahran Market, recently opened stall (all-round excellent)

2) 🥈 Lekker Lekker, cart visiting the outer suburban markets (great, just a little heavy on the curry)

3) Mokum, Brunswick Amsterdam café (pros: they also serve beer and fries; cons: not a great crust, and a little heavy on the curry)

4) Queen Vic Market stall (don’t waste your money)
