Yeah, but you're forgetting people up to the Murrumbidgee are culturally Victorian, and plus you'll all get killed by druggies in the northern suburbs before you get to the city herself.

On the other hand, Sydney's layout is even more retarded than Melbourne's wide avenues and grids.

Reminds me of a play I once saw.

*Minister returns from Melbourne*

O'Farrell: What did you learn about the transport system?
Berejiklan: They use grids and squares.
O'Farrell: What? That's madness!

Also, we weren't silly and kept our trams.

We have one in Wellington, and they use it as a tourist trap. ~~Students get it cheaper though.~~

Edit: Though, its more of a cable car, does it still count? :unsure:

Ha! We have the world's largest network!

And that makes the fact that they still haven't extended route 75 even worse >:(

Just gonna throw two things out there:

1. Australia has more sheep than New Zealand.

2. As a man who has lived in New Zealand my whole life.... I have never seen a sheep. I've seen cows, donkeys, llamas, deers, horses, women who look like horses.... but no actual sheep.

What the fuck, have you never left the city or something?

We have the most brilliant train system in the world, why we are going to get new trains from South Korea. /END SARCASM

The last government promised new trains, the current government promised new trains. A decade later. Only one exists. *cries*

Well technically the trains here were built in the 1960s, but they are based on a design from the 1920s-1930s, the trains look the same today (from black and white photos of Wellington).

I didn't understand your post.

Okay. Do you know what refill is? Or is it my possibly mistaken use of fluid? Or something else?

This is really where it gets difficult because I don't know any synonyms.

Paper. Line paper in a pad that can be torn out.
