I'll stand up for Melbourne here.
It's a very good venue - much nicer than Catalunya, which is dry and dusty and god-knows where the loos are!
It's also more of a bike track as the Spanish are bonkers about Moto-GP but only slightly mental for F1.
For my F1 dollar Albert Park is also a more intimate circuit where the fans are closer to the action.
Agree about the TV coverage tho'- for some reason the Aussie directors seem more interested in the pits than the track. I think it was 2009 - there was all sorts of midfield biffo going on out on the circuit and the director spent about 5 laps covering the pit-stops.
Annoying!
