Sort of, there's a few people here in IS wondering what facilities are
available, but since its likely we're not moving until July we're not
in any great rush to find out.

Only thing I found was:

> Can only speak for 710. There are showers on both levels. There are 3 bike
parks at the
> bottom of the internal stairs via the main/back entrance (i.e. the main car
park side).

> I believe they have bike lockers and some form of human lockers in 700. I
don't know of
> current occupancy rates.

I guess "human lockers" are for clothes and gear, not for humans :-)
Or perhaps it is a description of the office sizes...

So far. The biggest joke this year is that now it seems some bus
drivers are either unable or unwilling to overtake a cyclist when the
cyclist is *not* using the bus lane. Three times so far this year
I've had bus drivers come up behind me in the bus lane, wait for a gap
in the traffic, then pull out of the bus lane into the lane I'm in,
then pull out a little further, then overtake me on the right, then
pull back in to the bus lane. I then watched one of them go a few
hundred metres up the road and repeat the farce around two other
cyclists who weren't in the bus lane. And as usual about once a week
I get a blast on the horn and told to ride in the bus lane by irate
motorists who don't realise (or care) that it's illegal. I even had a
police car drive past me in the bus lane, slow down as though the
driver was about to say something, then drive off.

Yay VicRoads, a magnificent piece of design here.
