Melbourne is where I call home. A great city that has plenty to do & the food here is fantastic. Its easy to get around the city. Public transport (trams) run quite often around the city. If you feel energetic, I would suggest to walk. There is often great cafe's or retail shops down many of the laneways that are better than the ones on the main street.
Many people head to Chapel Street for shopping, which can get very busy during the day & on weekends. Also try Bridge Road to find a bargain. There are many events & things to do around Melbourne. Check out my tips pages!
If you find yourself in Melbourne, drop me a line, I would be happy to give you some extra tips. |

|  | The fun of travelling I love travelling, who doesn't, it's just trying to save money & having the time to get away. My parents were always taking the family away for trips camping & interstate. I have seen quite a lot of Australia, but the fact that it is such a huge place, I'll always be travelling around home. |
