If you live in Melbourne sell your car

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Hi there, I live in Melbourne and it just seems to be getting worse down here.  I reckon it’s time to sell of the car and walk, cycle or use public transport.  You see down here If you park in a train station car park, the ticket inspectors can actually fine you for parking there […]
