The Aussies are in desperate need of tradespeople and a delegation from Victoria are on a fact finding mission to learn from cities who've already staged the event, including Birmingham. Just over a week ago they were in Sandwell to visit the brand new aquatics centre, that was of course the only brand new venue built for the games this summer, at a cost of £72m.
