Update from Brisbane
Also near the names on the river bend:
Waters Edge
Terrace Row

Urban Harmony

<p><b>The Roi </b>in Fitzroy. Obviously a 'container' for Bogans. BTW have you seen the marketing images? A recent one has more bamboo than building. Mmmm. Homey. Nice if you are a Panda.</p>

<p><b>Rue de Chapel</b> in Prahran. How embarrassing!</p>

^ timid's role was to [** deleted **]
fair crack - but not a turd mate.
its marxicos only hill, a drive through sacrificial altar and a gateway to landscaped grounds where kangaroos graze in front of the neo-modherdist family tenarse courts.
