The love of Melbourne

You don't have to venture far to hear someone say how much they love this place. But as an UNESCO City of Literature, where are the great quotes about our city? Dublin, London, San Francisco – they're full of 'em. But Melbourne? If you know of any, we'd love to be emailed and enlightened!

The next fortnight features three public holidays but despite the wind down, The Fetch has still discovered plenty of happenings for you to digest. Don't forget to share us with your network so we can spread the action.
