Joke about Melbourne

Melbourne Weather sucks!
There are millions of jokes about Melbourne weather, here is the popular one: if you don’t like Melbourne’s weather, wait half an hour, it will change. Another one: in Melbourne, you can have 4 seasons in one day. Another one: in Melbourne, they build all the theatres and museums simply to hide from the rain.
Most people agree: weather in Melbourne is not as good as in other Australian cities. Melbourne believed to be always cloudy, rainy, and cold. If that’s not enough, the weather is changing several times a day, from sunshine to pouring rain.
In fact, Melbourne has less sunny days than Sydney, but it also receives less rainfall. Average air and water temperature is lower in Melbourne.

There is no ocean or beaches in Melbourne.
Melbourne is situated on the huge Port Phillip Bay. Beaches in proximity of the city (St Kilda, Brighton etc) are not the ocean beaches. You can not surf there, because there is no waves. But they’re fine for swimming.
If you want proper ocean beach for surfing, it’s about 1.5-2 hours drive from Melbourne city (Sorrento, Torquay).

Victorians are Mexicans!
This joke comes from Sydney. It based on Victoria shape and location is somehow similar to shape and location of Mexico on North-American map. Obviously, with this comparison NSW people put themselves where USA is.
