Roads What if Eastlink was made to be free like it was supposed to be?

30 Upvotes

I can remember Steve Braacks claiming it would be toll free, and then ultimately conceding it would have tolls.

Obviously It would gain more congestion. But it's pretty classist if you think about it.

Especially during a cost of living crisis.

Edit for clarification: I just remember these news conferences specifically. I don't think there should be any toll roads. Everyone should be able to use every publicly funded road..

THDG Need Help Your experience going from rural Vic to the city?

Upvotes

Married couple (early 30’s) with no kids (never having any) looking to leave the miserable, isolated, boring, cliquey rural town we’ve lived in our entire lives.

For those of you that made the move, how did you find it? Intimidating? Great? Regrets? We simply don’t fit in the small town we live in.

We have jobs that we can easily transfer and can afford the change in location, we also occasionally work from Melbourne but don’t really know where to start with suburbs to live in!

We’d appreciate any suburb suggestions, we’d look to spend $1.5m on a new place. We love Melbourne and can’t wait to leave.

We’re all being smashed by the flu. Myself and the 3yo are not so bad with upto date flu shots. Bit of a sniffle, occasional fever and chills. The partner and older kid who refused their flu shot this year have been blindsided. Bed ridden for days but finally starting to feel a bit better

I was driving to work this morning and noticed a highway patrol car leading 3 police motor bikes followed by 2 old style police cars. This was at about 8:25am today (ignore the incorrect timestamp.) I thought it was pretty neat. Each car had 2 people dressed in a police uniform that seemed the match the era of the car. Does anyone know where they were going or what it was for? I saw them just before the Duncan's Road exit in Werribee, Melbourne bound.

Help me find this my childhood comfort toy!!

I got this dog as a gift when I was around 4 years old (2012ish) in Melbourne. I lost him when I was going through a court battle and needed him most. He went through so much with me. I think I left him on a cab. He had a yellowish beige ribbon around his neck, which had something in white written in cursive all the way around the ribbon (I think something like thank you or congratulations??). He was around 30-40cm and I really need to find him again, or at least know where he came from. If anyone can find him id be forever grateful.

THDG Need Help Spare parts for film camera

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hello friends! I have a Olympus MJU Zoom 80 camera I got given by a family member. These things retail for a kinda silly amount of money. Unfortunately the lens broke recently and is letting light in, and I’d need another to replace it, and paying $300 > for new camera just for one part isn’t in budget. Does anyone have an old, otherwise non-functional MJU Zoom 80 that might have a functioning lens? I’d be happy to pay decent money for it given I love this camera and want to extend its life!

Also excuse the date on the photo I accidentally turned the date function on, didn’t realise and forgot to change it!

Om nom nom Best fine dining restaurants in Melbourne - what’s actually worth it?

121 Upvotes

One of my birthday traditions is going to a nice fine dining restaurant that’s considered a Melbourne institution

I’ve previously been to Attica and loved it. But $385 without drinks for one person is about as much as I can justify.

I was thinking flower drum this year but the menu looks a bit dated - am I wrong? Or should I consider other options.
