MELBOURNE, EXPLAINED

Explained in Melbourne

Short, honest primers on the local stuff nobody tells you: footy, the weather, the slang.

The Dispatch is the reading. Hey Sini is the doing: a standing weekly table of five people near you, the same five, every week.

The Dispatch is written under pen names by Hey Sini's editors. The reporting is real; the bylines are a house tradition.
