Melbourne Condos - Reviews and Rates

Not only do Aussies drive on the left, but they also walk on the left....which explains why we are always bumping into people. Other than that, getting around Melbourne is very easy, with its comprehensive system of trains, trams and buses. The cultural scene is pretty intense, and there are multiple venues for art events, including some great m...

Hey there hope all is well? im good over here, back into the swing of work with a big thud but plodding on nicely. so i thought i would write to fill you in on my week away from work (god it felt so much longer it was lovely). So i left work on Fri 24th Oct to bomb it down to melbourne for Jess' bday drinks. i got in the house and ready in 15 mi...

What de hell is going on? Nobody told me it snowed in Australia. All I have ever heard about is holes in the ozone layer and skin cancer and now I'm confronted with a freezing cold morning up in the Snowy Mountains (given, there's a clue in the name). Naturally, I don't have particularly suitable clothing for such conditions, especially as the v...

Today we arrived in Melbourne, from a 4 day trip from Sydney. We met a Dutch guy called Jasper that was travelling to Melbourne so we decided to share petrol costs. We spent the first night in Batemans Bay, where we met some very hospitable but crazy Australians. One of them was an ex- pro basketball player. (He showed us his custom made shoes, ...

"There is a house in New Orleans, They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy, And God, I know, I'm one." -- The House of the Rising Sun The first self-imposed rule of Travelpod was that we wouldn't talk about women. There were all sorts of reasons for this at the time and it has proved to be a good rule. You don't need th...

We wake up with Sam just in time to go to play golf: the first time for me. I was thinking to just follow them when they were playing, but when we asked for that, they insist that I took a bag, some clubs and balls. At the beginning, I was just learning the swing and more and more I played with them until I played the last 9 holes of the game an...

After about 2000km driving we made it to our first big city stop. Melboure has a really nice open feel to it, and some great shops and markets (which Abs in particular enjoyed!). The architecture seems much more European than some of the smaller towns which often have quite a wild-west US style to their high streets. Our hotel was in a pretty go...

What a fantastic couple o weeks in Melbourne. Hectic, to be sure, but so interesting and energizing! Flying from Sydney to Melbourne was not fun, because I had to go through customs in Sydney where they stole my trailmix (those Hawaiian almonds, for those of you who were there, were too raw to be acceptable?!), and drenched all of my shoes becau...

Vandaag komt Richard, de Australische collega van Tom, ons oppikken voor een rondje door Melbourne City. We vertrekken aan het observation deck van waaruit je over de hele stad en al zijn suburbs ( met 4 miljoen mensen!) kunt kijken. We gaan verder naar het museum voor Australische kunst (gratis hier) en nemen dan de tram naar de Docklands. Hier...

Hello gang, Melbourne is simply one fine city, youthful, vibrant, bustling, and since it is summer here, warm (mid 70s and low 80s) and inviting with daylight well after 8pm (sorry). The guidebooks describe it as "very livable," which I interpret to mean easy to get around in and with much to do and see. That is an understatement. We've explored...
