At the South end of the Vic Markets there's a roundabout. Not the
roundabout of doom at the North end. That's just insane.

Anyway, at the _South_ end there's a roundabout. With a tram track
through the middle.

I thought that *was* the roundabout of dqqm.

I think he's talking about the roundabout at the corner of Dudley and
Peel, which is certainly the only roundabout in the near vicinity of the

The canonical Roundabout of DQQM is, I think, the Flemington Rd Roundabout
at the other end of Peel st, here:
