Clubs

Melbourne: I discovered that members of the Melbourne Club call the Victoria Club "Sizzler in the Sky", due to its location on the 41st floor of the Rialto tower. I love this sort of thing, and Melbourne's especially good at secrets and in-jokes. An acquaintance of mine here runs a bar which is difficult to find even if you know exactly where it is and have been given directions. He has no interest in attracting walk-in traffic, and takes the view that anyone who doesn't know where it is shouldn't be there in the first place. Very Melbourne.
