Melbourne Internatonal Flower and groan, not much else.!

Hi, all, took my Mother to another one, and it was a mess all things considered or an embarrassment to Melbournians, and Australians in general.

Here is an outside image, so oversearers, (yeah, l know Princess) can get an idea.



This was last years one, but similar. This years had a twilight one, well, twilight zone!

We got there at 4pm, since the weather was terrible, and my Mother ummed too much.

We naturally assumed, that twilight meant that it was open til 9.30pm, but it was a mess.

We got there at 4pm, and was told we had to pay for what was left of the day one, (about 50 minutes) and then pay again for the night one.

My Mother is a pensioner and couldn't afford $23 twice.


So, she thought about it for 10 minutes, and made the decision to fork it out, but when we got back to the ticketing office, )in the rain of course) it was too late, and we where shut out from that one, groan....

Then we went over to the Melb, Museum, looked around the store, had a coffee.

And went back....

Here is what was in the store, yeah, l know Terra, Opals, the bottom ones where from Cooper Peedi.





Then we finally got on, went outside, and found out that most of the stalls where closed, What the....

The guard who was as confused as we where, turned a blind eye and we snuck through.

Walked around there for a while, went back in to the Ex, building, for a sit down, and maybe dinner, but no...

We found that the top section with restaurant, art work, etc was closed.

And if we wanted dinner, we had to get chips, etc, outside and sit on wet hay in the rain!

F****whits!


Then inside, my Mother was hoping to sit down, but of course no chairs.

But she did eventually find one, l personally wanted to go upstairs and throw a few over the 10 metre balcony, (some would have made it)?

So, these F***heated CEO's, made a dogs breakfast of the twilight one, and didn't give a s*** about the elderly!

This event was well run years ago, and also was open late all week, but these days, it just seems to be a poorly run, fast buck.

I hope that the big flower show in England doesn't go the way ours is?
