I am making this fitzroy section to encourage tourist out of the usual places. Melbourne is so much more than The arts Centre, penquins and St.Kilda. You can't judge a book by its cover, you need to emerse your self in the many wonderful layers beneath.
Fitzroy is an example of a suburb that has more to offer than a great postcard to send home. Go for an historic walk, have a coffee at one of hundreds of cafes in fitzroy. Wander off the main streets to find hidden loacl pubs or visit one of its many art galleries or just shop!
- Pros:Vibrant, creative & unpretentious
- Cons:Gentrification starting to creep in

I think I'll have to check out Fitzroy again...it's been many years!! See you at the Big Melb Meet : )
Here's a cool spot in Melbourne that I don't know at all. Thanx 4 telling about it. Gotta check some of these tips out next time I'm down south.
Hey Damian, all those yummy restaurant tips are making me hungry!! Looking forward to Melbourne next year!! Cheers, Ann :o)
Gr8 Fitzroy tips Damian. Love the cafe/restaurant tips. Just like Sydney visitors really need to get out of the city centre & visit places like this. Will be getting out here next visit to Melb. Thanx 4 the tips!
Oh isn't that strange. We struck a cafe in South Yarra that had no menus and no prices and no bill. Melbourne is a bit strange!
