Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

So if you're not wearing pants or a shirt, what are you wearing?

Kaftan?
Sarong?
Kilt?
I packed linen trousers and shirts for Sydney. Should hold it shape for an hour depending on the humidity.

My sweat forms a clinging cloud with my head rising above.

Two weddings this summer. Both on 36+ degree days.

That is not weather for wearing pants, a shirt, a tie, or leather shoes.

I don't care who you are that's just not formal attire weather.

This is definitely the kind of situation where loose-fitting linen shirts and trousers, low-cut shoes (eg loafers) and sockettes come into play.

Sure, it's a casual look, but in a very different way from shorts, polos and thongs. At least it looks like you made an effort, and have a vague clue.

This morning at the Grand Hotel, Mildura: three young gents seated together at breakfast. All with shaved-sides-long-on-top haircuts, huge pointy beards, neck ink, and ludicrously over-developed musculature. One guy had a top-knot. Uniform was singlets and stubbies.

They looked as gay as all get out, which would be fine if it were intentional. I'm sure though that in this case it wasn't.

Who knows - maybe they were on a modelling shoot.

I had lunch in Newtown the other day and these three D's walk in. One gent was a Sartorial Peacock impeccably dressed in a RAF blue suit, nice tie,shirt and shoes. I was curious if the suit was MTM. The other male D was definitely in a OTR from Lowe's and as for the policewoman there are things I could have done with the handcuffs.

I'll be in Malaysia and Singapore in a couple of weeks. I've been told by multiple sources not to bother shopping in Singapore. As for Malaysia, KL, anywhere I ought to check out?

And more importantly, places to eat for both?

Is P.Lal in KL still a good option?

Same day DryCleaner required in either conservative business dress or Potts Point Eastern Suburbs. Any suggestions?

What? You were in Mildura?

Dude I was there recently - used to live there. One of my absolute favourite places on Earth.

Explains the need for dry cleaning.

I go there every two months or so for work.

Can't say I'm all that keen on the place - but my interaction with it has been very superficial. I do like the restaurants on Langtree Street, especially Stefano's (although its pricing makes it a rare treat). I've never tried the night life and probably never will.

Lived in Beechworth for two years. That's a really special place.

Matt, what do you like about Mildura? Maybe I can pick up some tips for things to do while I'm there.

Perhaps the retail analysts might know what havoc Amazon is likely to wreak when it arrives here?

Seems to have cut quite a swathe through US retailing.

Friend of mine is looking to get a leather jacket altered (slimmed).

Any suggestions for a Sydney based alterationist?

Actually, this reminded me, I thinking of a light weight kilt jacket. I got a lightweight kilt when I was back in Scotland last year (leaving my heavywieght one at home) but the jakcet is still quite heavy for weddings here andI am going to a wedding in Florence this year too. I wonder if one in raw white silk would work...or where the hell I can even get a lightweight one.

They look like this -

I like the River a lot, I like the people a lot (which is a hard thing to replicate, unfortunately).

I like driving down to King's Billabong and wandering around seeing the animals and trees in the early morning.

I like getting on the river on a small boat and seeing the cliffs, the flooded trees, the birds, the fish.

I like walking aimlessly past all the vines and seeing what's around.

I like SUnday at McDougal's winery - pizza and jazz/blues.

I like going to Perry Sandhills, Hattah, GolGol State forest, Loxton/the SA Riverland, etc.

Mostly I like having some nostalgia times and the landscape.
