I know! There's two ovals there which are still looking lush, and the green extends some way beyond the fences before it blends into dry grass. But I have never seen them being watered....

I think they must do it at night to save on evaporation. I think they get some dispensation to be able to water them because Collingwood and The Melbourne Storm train there.

* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.
