I'm from lovely Melbourne Australia...the current home of Oprah Winfrey
Actually, I think she's gone to Sydney today so I can't even claim that.
I've always been interested in crime and stories like the JBR one, mostly because I have a strong personal loathing for people doing the wrong thing and have an equally strong personal craving to see justice done.
Melbourne has been a safe city for years. I grew up in the period JUST before every kid decided their rights were more important than everyone else's rights...which is largely when the world became ridiculous.
Anyway, if you've never been to Australia, you should...it's like America but safe, relaxed and filled with nice people
