Never heard Bondi Beach being held up as a icon of much worth, even among parochial Sydneysiders. Most of who would seldom visit. Far better beaches around, perhaps an icon still for British back packers and their drunken Christmas Day shenanigans?

Specially in the third world countries and everywhere else.

This is the best way to process and dispose gazillions of tons of trash we humans produce. This bird is a gift of God. And you guys call in Bin Chicken? It should be called, God Gifted trash processor.

Never thought about the bin chicken in such a way. Many Sydneysiders regard them as a pest.

It's embarrassing. :S
It's embarrassing that you would make hyperbolic comments on a place that you've never visited to. You lack basic common sense.

Melbourne has one of the most efficient public transport systems in the world: trams.

What is it that amazes you about European cities when you visit?

I tend to agree with you though, in that I'd rather live in an Australian city than a European one. I find the layouts of American/Aussie cities admirable, because of course they were "planned" and a lot of thought has gone into that planning. Melbourne, Adelaide, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia for example are stunning examples of grid layouts that created wide sprawling avenues in the city around illustrious green parks/gardens.

It does within Australia, but the world, actually no. Melbourne's system is not extensive enough to compete with a host of world cities for starters.

if you ever get a passport issued and are allowed out the country, you will if staying observant, not totally consumed by your own irrelevance and flawed attempts of one-upmanship and baffled intellect, the fact that so many cities maintain a far more efficient as well as extensive transport network than Melbourne.

That is undoubtedly true. But what has it got to do with you said?

Poster claimed Melb had a very efficient transport system, troubes say no no no, Melb isn't big enough to compete with others. An illogical response ;-)

Read what was said, poster said in world. One of most efficient. I disagree it is one of most efficient as it does not cover enough ground to make it so. Are you of the ability to comprehend that?
