| 2:21.6 | I mean, to be honest, I'm actually just jealous. The fact that you do you guys Australia is the best architecture. In my opinion, in my opinion, it's crazy where it's come from. I mean, |
| 2:34.4 | especially Melbourne, where you guys know, yeah, I'm in Melbourne. So and my business partner lambs are actually business partnership. There's a whole we'll talk about. We'll get into all that. But yeah, no, we're in a Melbourne based. There is a bit of, you know, you can go left or right of the city. And it's a big city. It really branches out. And it goes down and wraps around onto a bay. |
| 2:57.6 | But now we're mainly in a city. We kind of concentrate on 15 suburbs that we can kind of move around any further out. And then we just start to kind of get a bit concerned about dropping into jobs in time, the matters and all that kind of stuff. So |
