Melbourne

Feeling upbeat at the end of the week, looking forward to something tonight or over the weekend, or just happy you've made it through the week? Post your upbeatedness below so we can all feel it, and maybe turn someone's frown upside down....

Saw it in the botanic gardens at Williamstown and thought it looked nice.

Would like to know the name of it.

Can anyone help?

This is the late night video I didn't know I needed.

In town for a few months. Been watching the tap on rates on the trams.

I'm going to hazard an approximation of about 20% of people are actually tapping on. Maybe 30% at a stretch.

Surely if they did a Brisbane, and dropped it to 50c or even $1, then most everyone would tap.

There comes a point , when things are affordable rnough, that it's not worth the risk / anxiety.

At current pricing it's obviously still worth the risk.

I can only imagine if the 70% or so that are not paying, paid $1, that there'd be more money in the system.

The guardian has started covering the protests. Much better coverage than newscorp as usual, too.

Apparently they just casually drove a tank into the city at 3am on Saturday morning and nobody noticed. So that's fun. Apparently they've also called in cops from interstate to help

Some people in the original post had some questions about whether I had the right product.

Well I went back today and took some more photos to show it more clearly. Hopefully that clarifies that I was holding the right thing.

And they're still at it! This time with garlic from Argentina (still not Australia).

Spoke to staff there who said I'll hear back from head office. I'll let you know when/if I do.
