...a lot like Christmas. The decorations went up in the city last weekend, these ones in the Bourke Street Mall (today you get a bonus bumblebee tram).
That must be one of the cutest trams I´ve seen. Christmas in Australia would be too strange for me but happy waiting! ...even if uou sound like you don´t care?
Hi Chrome. They are pretty cool trams, although the modern ones are quite poorly designed on the inside, I think.
I'm not overly fussed about Christmas at all - only that I'm having a two week holiday from work and visiting my mother interstate.
Hi Jayne. Yep, way too early. Myer has had its Christmas shop open for weeks and the Christmas tree went up in the city square a couple of weeks back. I don't remember Christmas starting this early even in the past few years. Before we know it, we'll be hanging tinsel in October.
