Aussie Flavours


Burger King in Australia is called Hungry Jack's. A small take-away shop had the rights to the name and no amount of corporate donations can convince the judicial system otherwise.


McDonald's is still called McDonald's. They have a McOz burger on the menu. Hoping that it would be made from exotic local game such as kangaroo or emu, I was disappointed to find out the only difference is the addition of a slice of pickled beet. I guess Australia loves pickled beets.

Art in the City


Melbourne considers itself the arts and culture capital
of Australia. This is especially true if you consider
the amount of graffiti all over the city. Here are some
masterful installations.





















Even the ACCA (Australian Centre of Comtemporary Art) cannot
escape the creative juices of local artists.



Yet you can eat off of the highway underpasses...
