Go through the underground passage and admire all the beautiful shops. And don’t forget to check out the magic Old signs.

Listen to the announcer at Flinders St, because you have no chance of understanding the garbled nonsense at Southern Cross - unless you're a mermaid #ForThePotters

Don't be passive-aggressive. Others may have had a bad day, or simply be oblivious of the distress they are causing you. Just remain polite and serene.

By putting warning sign you don't fix leaking ceiling. No changes in last 5 years, should we call Fix It Felix for help?

Myki top-up stations. Ambiguous terminology coupled with an unintuitive obtuse user interface. I'm so proud of Victoria's public transport monstrosity.

Buses to Avalon Airport do not like people taking beverages & food inboard, so leave enough time for a snack before you climb aboard!

Mental note to self - platform 12 and 13 are the mystery platforms behind platform 10. Knowing this earlier could have saved my broken foot and the business meeting. Fail.com! Just drive in future...

The trains are terribly terribly run and PTV should be replaced... but I like the location of this station, a few little shops in it and it’s close to trams to go further up into the city
