2032 Olympics

[The blue phantom]

I lived 30 years in Brisbane, then I retired and moved 1 hour south to the Gold Coast.
Brisbane is a modern and incredibly clean city. With a beautiful river and southbank leisure area.
Whenever we have visitors from the UK they really like it.

Main Gold Coast area is a bit of shit hole tbh. Ive been going over every 3 years for Donkeys now. Further up at Burleigh our friends have an apartment a lot better and 100 times cleaner.

I think most games would be about 7am your time.

Thats not gonna work for me.

Didn’t Chicago put a few serious bids in over the last decades? It’s back in LA in 2028 I think as well.
For an Australian Olympics do they move it to later in the year for the weather?

Some cities already have most of the infrastructure and some of the specialized facilities, whereas others start pretty much from scratch and need a huge ($500M?) main stadium built, just for starters.

LA already has that main stadium and the gorgeous new LA (American) Football stadium just opened, too.

This is what $5BILLION can buy you!

No! June / July is their winter so the heat is "only" in the low 60's lol

Yeah, if it was 7am my time it would work for me. 7am UK is 2am Canook.

No, way too noisy there, I live where Southport joins Main Beach.
