Let's go to Graham Graham. 1500 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:51,720 Speaker 26: Hello, Hello, how are you again? 1501 01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,240 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we're good. What's your reason that we're breaking 1502 01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 2: the top ten? 1503 01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,040 Speaker 26: Well, I just think from one point of view, it's 1504 01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 26: a fascinating city. Melbourne has the only movie production Horizon 1505 01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:10,439 Speaker 26: Pool in the Southern Hemisphere. Down at Point Cook, which 1506 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 26: attracts movie movie production people because they can have this 1507 01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 26: giant tank which is about a kilometer square, which they 1508 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,280 Speaker 26: can do all sorts of water scenes in and it's 1509 01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,880 Speaker 26: onto the bay. There's only two others in the world, 1510 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 26: one in Baja California and another one in Malta. And 1511 01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 26: it's been used for a lot of scenes for ocean scenes, 1512 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,840 Speaker 26: so it looks like you're out, you're drownding in the 1513 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:34,599 Speaker 26: middle of the ocean. 1514 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:38,839 Speaker 3: Sorry, is it kill wide? 1515 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:46,639 Speaker 26: I think it's a kilometer square. It's not very deep. 1516 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:51,440 Speaker 26: It's not very deep, so they can drive machinery around. 1517 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 14: Pardon, how do you. 1518 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:53,200 Speaker 3: Know all this? 1519 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:54,519 Speaker 1: Oh? 1520 01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,360 Speaker 26: I think it's pretty basic knowledge, isn't it. 1521 01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,200 Speaker 5: I've never heard of it. 1522 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,320 Speaker 26: It's a Point Cook.

And that just 1527 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:17,120 Speaker 26: adds an element of what Melbourne's good for.
