Re: Melbourne St

I used to call into the Melba/Melbo? occasionally around 1960, usually on Sunday afternoons, I think, and put a bob or two into the jukebox. It didn't have the amosphere of the Wayside opposite Joe Mort's, though.

My friend and I could make one coffee each last about 2 hours while listening to the jukebox that other people were putting money in. Happy, really rather innocent days. :)

Sorry, but I've obviously missed this question from you, Cashy. I honestly can't remember. Can you remember when this might have been - I moved out of Accy in late 1961 and may have stopped going in there by then anyway. I seem to remember that it was quite a tiny place.
