   Somewhere with fuel, food, plenty of weapons & ammo, and well fortified against the zombies.

   There’s a little-known breakwater at Sandridge Beach in Port Melbourne – gives you a panaramic view from the Westgate Bridge over the city all the way out to Brighton. Well worth paying a visit, especially if you’re feeling really dramatically emo during a storm. Can be found here.

   Somewhere you can enjoy it! Either tucked up in bed, or from behind your office window. Somewhere under cover with a few beers and a few mates would be awesome too.

   I read that as “under covers”. As in… you’re under some bedsheets with your mates and some beer during a storm. Which actually doesn’t sound like too bad an idea.

   At home, with all the windows and doors open. And a cup of tea :)

   Preferably somewhere dry!

   Once when we were on holiday on a houseboat on the Murray River, there was a fantastic thunderstorm. Watching it from the houseboat deck was pretty cool. (Obviously we were moored at the time!)

   I’d love to be at Eureka Tower, in the little box thing that turns see-through

   Hmm… yeah, I can see that. :)

   May as well put a few couches together and make a blanket fort while we’re at it! :)

    My vote goes to the William Tell rest house (or called something like that) in the Botanic Gardens.

    Failing that, the cafe at the end of St Kilda Pier.

    hmmm, the distinct lack of water & cost of bottled water means outside “in the rain” filling your water bottle would be a good idea.
