I have some terrible news ... BreadTop at Melbourne Central is CLOSED. I don't know if it's permanent. This means my mornings are much less joyful... And my life has extended by a few years.

I don't know whether it is still there, but I really miss that pide store at the bottom of Melbourne Central. Their goodies were so great.

There are a few types of street/fast food that were common in Melbourne that I can't readily get in Perth.

The last job I had in the city (3+ years ago) it became clear to me that the entire CBD is infested with rodents. You can really smell it strongly in some locations too.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

oh totally. And on the basement floor right above a train station is practically inevitable. Still dont wanna see them though.

Is the QV one still there? Haven't checked in about a decade.
