Melbourne still has boarding houses! Most are decrepit hovels that hold too many people, ignore the fire codes and charge exorbitant amounts of rent, but there are a few respectable ones. I used to walk past one every day when I worked at Borders. It catered to mostly international students, particularly young Asian men and women leaving home for the first time.
