	BARISTA: triumph of the gunzel
		As a result Melbourne does not have one central railway station but three - two of which were built right next to each other but did not connect at any point.
		In Melbourne, A "gunzel" is a tram junkie, although Daniel Bowen, fierce defender of public transport and iconic Melbourne blogger, extends the definition to include trains.
		In the late 80's, the tram system was taken over by the railways, who sent their engineers down to look at the generating systems which they discovered were installed in 1923 and never upgraded.

		Land north of the railway is used for grazing whilst the richer land to the south supports agriculture and market gardening.

		One called 'The Station' proposed the 'surrealistic positioning' of a railway station suspended on a mezzanine level, while 'All that is Solid Melts into air' centred on the display of a train carriage and locomotive engine.
		These responded to the economic recession of the times, the railways' massive and long-standing public debt, and a growing acceptance of economic rationalism and market-driven policies, which promoted privatisation and commercialisation of the public sector and extensive retrenchments.
