When Australian writer Julian Tompkin first visited Berlin, the East German parliamentary 'palace' was still standing beside the River Spree, and Potsdamer Platz was very much a clamorous work-in-progress. Much has changed since then, and Julian has spent the last 15 years witnessing this once-divided city's rousing transformation.
