Cockie's cornerEarl the farmer from Texas, was heading back to the Lone Star State. He rang farmer Brian and invited him to have lunch in Melbourne. So Brian travelled up on the train and they met at Southern Cross Station. “This is a very small station compared to the one in Dallas," said Earl. They started walking down Collins Street. "Your streets are very narrow, your side walks are like cattle tracks," said the Texan. Is there anything big in Melbourne?” he asked. They turned left into Elizabeth Street and there before them was a new magnificent state-of-the-art 80 floor office building. Earl turned to Brian and asked “How long has that building been there?” “It wasn’t there yesterday,” said Brian with a chuckle.
