James this is great! It is such a lovely article and I find that the photos are lovely as well. It’s just amazing how you put all these together on “A bemused Melburnian returns to Melbourne after two years absence” with such great tips! Looking forward to more of these.

It is just a lovely well put up. If you truly get a sense for the heart beat of Melbourne, it is also good to spend some hours sitting in a park or on a busy road corner all on your very own simply watching day-to-day life events happens. We’ll share it this with your permission

“One thing that hasn’t changed is the lack of public wifi in cafes.”

After almost 5 years away from Australia this was my No. 1 gripe. It felt like almost everywhere else in the world there was free wifi basically everywhere. There is even free wifi in the little park behind City Hall in NYC. Here in Australia, not so much. We’ll get there, eventually! Loved reading about your observations! So much of it rang true for me too.

…….Succinctly put James , fascinating . Personally speaking I always feel extra-terrestrial when I re-enter Melbourne BUT I think that has a lot to do with living in Mullumbimby ……

Great read James. Your comments about Thai food brought a smile. We are long term travellers who spend a lot of time in Thailand so always enjoy a taste of Thai food when we return to Australia. The price is a bit of a shock but we miss it so much we have to try the Aussie version.
