Melbourne 2x3=6

 "Melbourne's a city you get to know from the inside out - you have to walk it to love it. My favourite time to do this is at night. That's when you capture glimpses of people - eating, laughing, talking, arguing, watching TV and reading - through half-open terrace house doors and windows. That's when you see a shaft of moonlight shoot bright down a bluestone lane, though, as often as not, by the time you look up to seethe source of light a cloud has moved across the sky and the moon has disappeared. It is a city of inside places and conversations. Of intimacy. It's a city that lives in its head. It's a city that has winters grey enough to make most of its inhabitants SAD and, increasingly, summers punctuated by terrible heatwaves" Sophie Conningham, Melbourne (2011) Page 7. Climate and global warming is back on the agenda, indeed!  Water (3) and Melbourne council (2) sites, hopefully moving at the speed of 6.  Guillermo Aranda-Mena Ⓒ 2022
