Traveling to Melbourne has been one of the best and most pleasant experiences of my life. Not only does traveling give you such a sense of independence and peace, it makes you realize there is so much of the world out there yet to see! I left Friday night after a very long day of waiting.

On arriving in Melbourne I was disappointed, I had just spent 8 weeks travelling round Asia where apart from Vietnam the weather was B E A utiful.

Well I'm sure I …

There are no big iconic landmarks or nice views like there are in Sydney but we thought we probably just weren't near the centre.We spent the first day walking about and got lost trying to find the …

A walk up town to the market - Queen Victoria Market. It's busy. Some fresh fruit and a chocolate brioche are purchased. (The bread is eaten pretty quickly!)

Then it's a walk to and through Flagstaff Gardens, where I then pick up a free city circuit tram going in a clockwise route.

I jump off in Carlton on Victoria Parade, …

We're off to Melbourne for the day to do the touristy things and we even have a tourist book with money off vouchers it could not get any better. We got the train from Geelong which was only about an hour, got to Melbourne and started to navigate our way through the huge skyscrapers.

We headed for the aquarium first down at the river banks …
