Parliament House of Victoria Melbourne

Mit umfangreichem Material von Nicole und Jackson gestern ausgestattet war unser Plan heute um 10.30 Uhr zu der hiesigen I´m free Tour zu gehen. Unser Zug mit etwas Puffer war für 9.02 Uhr angesagt.
Um ca. 8.30 Uhr machten wir uns auf den Weg um per Bus oder 20 min Fussmarsch zum Bahnhof zu kommen. Leider waren in diesen Annahmen schon 2 …

I flew to Melbourne with Tiger airways, and I'd been prewarned that they weren't the best, but the flight wasn't too bad in the end. It was a little weird landing then waiting for my bag in an outdoor shed, with no helpful information points or anything, but I figured out what I was doing in the ends, with the helpful advice of a couple of …

My dad gave me the best early Birthday Present ever. He came all the way to Australia just to see me and spoil the hell out of me. We had a slow start to the week because I was recovering from my week at Uni Games. I got to see alot of Melbourne CBD and a few touristy places.

The southwestern part of Australia is really being pounded by a series of storms, but it …

The three guys in my room seem to have a very strange day rhythm. They get up early, sleep in the afternoon and night, and I could not find out yet what they are really here for. Anyway I started my first full day in Melbourne with getting along with the tram system and finally got to Federation Square from where I took a Melbourne …

After taking it for granted speaking English for 3 1/2 months, it is now the norm! (with the odd bit of Aussie slang). Melbourne was a great place to start my Oz experience. I absolutely loved it!< …

... was all so spaced out with a little attraction here and a bizarre attraction there, very few people, a river, a war museum and parliament house of course. Well we were soon out of there after our 2 tours round the museum and parliament house, we had ...

... is probably the best thing about the hotel. You will probably not get that much detail on the picture, but we overlook the parliament house of Melbourne and a large cathedral. Also we can see the Snowy Mountains in the distance. We are off out soon for ...
