Re: Beer Garden

It makes me wonder whether there is an aspect of unconscious misogyny in all of this, as Australia's only 'female' capital? i agree with everything else you have said...but would you care to explain the meaning of this statement?

[SWP] Re: #PRO: Former RAH Site (Design Competition)
