Another thread caused me to think of this ... I used to live next to the current site of the Commonwealth Games village in Melbourne (paste 37°46'51.86"S, 144°56'26.51"E into GoogleEarth to see it). .... . . . . . .. . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . . . . . It might be of interest to some of you to know that some of the ovals are no longer there but are now wetlands instead. The oval with the baseball field (lower portion of the screen) is still there but the one just above it and the one to the rear of the sound wall beside the freeway (next to the big yellow Citylink "cheesestick" sculpture) are now both lakes..... . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . If you're still interested, check out - 37°46'39.80"S, 144°56'41.39"E - and you'll see the Torana juvenile boys detention centre .... .. . .. . . . what's that? ... right next to the games village? .... yep ....
