Melbourne - My Second Home !

by grantravel - last update: Jan 27, 2005

Looking from Southbank over Yarra and to the City
In my short travelling history Melbourne has been our favourite city to visit and revisit.

With so much to do and see, there's never a dull moment.
Rod Laver Arena

Entertainment

No matter what you are into, there's always something of interest for you in Melbourne.

SPORT- Aussie Rules, Rugby League, Cricket, Tennis, Formula One.

MUSIC- Live Bands from local to international playing nearly every day of the week.

THEATRE- Theres always something playing down here. We seen the Queen "We Will Rock You" show at the Regent Theatre last time.

ROAD TRIPS- Take a drive down the Great Ocean Road or Phillip Island.

Restaurants

When we go to Melbourne, we try to go to as many different restaurants that we can. Whether its Italian in St Kilda, Vietnamese in Richmond or one of the many Cafe' s around the city, we have never been culinary uninterested.

 Gr8 tips Grant. I've really enjoyed 6 trips to Melb in the last 12 months, especially the 2nd last one when the Swans won the Flag! The Steam Train ride appeals to me & I know my girls would like it too.
