 THE ANDERSON REPORT: CHAPTER 1
The University of Melbourne was also alert to the potential harm which scientology could do to University students and, in 1961 and 1962, the University Student Counsellor became concerned at the attempts being made by scientology to exploit the anxieties of students.
Students in their teens and early twenties frequently experience considerable anxiety concerning their courses and the manner in which they are coping with their studies, and this anxiety has been accentuated in recent years by the introduction of quotas, when failure in a year may mean the end of a student's academic career.

 National Geographic Traveler Article: Melbourne
Melbourne may have grayer skies, and a muddy river in lieu of a glistening harbor, but no matter—nature’s withheld bounty has motivated Melbourne’s citizens to cultivate man-made pleasures.
Immigrants, for their part, introduced continental pastimes: “Whereas promenading was once alien to Melbourne,” notes Paul Kouris, an Athens-born barrister and erstwhile inventor, “you now see people walking arm-in-arm along the riverfront.” Yet, this being Australia, the city’s sophistication is offset by a refreshingly relaxed attitude.
Although Melbourne’s weather remains notoriously unpredictable, the climate rarely hits extremes: High temperatures average in the mid-50s (°F) in winter (June-Aug.) and in the upper 70s in summer (Dec.-Feb.).
