In my secret base in the bottom of a hollowed out volcano... or not.

When I'm not masquerading as a uni student I live in country Vic!

Does us't to living in Melbourne count. When I was two I lived there with my moms side of the family(grandparents,which are still there), so does that count? Even though I only lived there for a couple of months.

I am also a Melbourne boy (originally born in Adelaide...weirdo I know), moved here with my Victorian ( :) ) parents at the age of 10 months and lived here ever since. I've no doubt it's the best city in the world, why the hell have they not filmed a Bond film here?

What are everyone's plans for December 7th? :P

I too live in beautiful Melbourne. I have lived here my whole life, and I enjoy it immensely. Whilst other cities are very nice, I can't imagine living anywhere else.
As for Casino Royale, I travelled to London for the week of the premier (FUN!). Not only did I get to see Daniel Craig walk the red carpet, I managed to squeeze 2 screenings of the film in during my short time there!
Then, upon my return home, I purchased 2 tickets to the advanced screening of CR at Hoyts Melbourne Central on Wednesday 6th December. This was only available for VISA Card holders. I also saw the film at Hoyts Eastland (Ringwood) on the official Australian release date, the day after.

The weather was absolutely fantastic. Rare for Melbourne indeed, luckily it just started raining when I left. You guys need the rain though, so I hope you get some.

I was born in Bangkok. I'm Thai, but I'm moving to Melbourne for uni this September. Sadly. The original plan was to go to London. Now I'll have to wait 27 more days for QoS.

Someone throw me into a piranha pool.

Just came back from the Designing 007 exhibition at the Melbourne Museum. Glad I went. Great to see all the stuff I've seen from the movies in person. No photography was allowed inside, but got a photo next to the DB5, Lazenby's DBS and the frozen Boris. At the store I grabbed the Designing 007 book, a mug, pen and Lotus Esprit car. If in Melbourne, go!

I'm also from Melbourne and went to the Designing 007 exhibit on the weekend. It was well worth it. The main dissapointment for me was that there weren't any bond 'casual' outfits - mostly just tuxedos and a few sporty type stuff for him. Overall though it was quite good. The shop itself is fairly overpriced - I would have bought the designing 007 book too if I didn't already have the 007 archives book. Instead, I bought the Thunderball novel as i'd not read that particular one yet.

 

Also I got the same three photos - the DB5, the OHMSS DBS and Frozen Boris!
