The detail is "where do they park?" The answer is they don't. (aussie.zone)

Shared on Facebook with the caption "Doing absolutely no favours to their international reputation, Americans have swarmed social media posts of Taylor Swift’s Melbourne concerts confused by a very obvious detail. Can you spot it?"

It's an article from the Murdoch right-wing paper "The Australian", so I won't link the original source.

Transcription:

Aerial photo of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, surrounded to its North and East by tree-filled parks, to the West by a warm-up pitch, and to the South by a train line with two pedestrian overpasses over it. Underneath this photo is the article title "The MCG show detail that has American Swifties baffled" and byline "by Sam McPhee".

I went to the Melbourne Cricket Grounds once during the Boxing Day Test Match. Public transportation was a breeze and a stroll through the surrounding parks was lovely.

I got a Team Australia sombrero in the stadium as a silly souvenir and a stunningly beautiful Australian woman said, “I like your Mexico hat!” 10/10 experience. Would take public transport to MCG again.

    Melbourne public transportation is great.

    They do a huge amount of free trams to the F1 as well when that's on.

    Transport here does have it's... Interesting moments too. I used to ride a line often frequented by an older Indian woman... Who would get on the team and start screaming at anyone on their cellphone because it was rude. Fun times.
