why only release half an episode?! doesn't work as a teaser if we don't know what the campaign sounds like.

Enjoyed this ep immensely. Further to F, Q or Q, some other quintessential Melb experiences when visiting: Check out a gig at the Tote, or one of the other truckload of music venues in the inner north. Go to the footy at the mighty MCG. Have a beer with a view at Curtain House rooftop. Eat at Chin Chin. Go for a bagel at Jungle Juice - they're good!
