78 Howard St., (formerly Queensberry Hill YHA) Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Melbourne is quite frankly; amazing. After watching England get well and truly trounced by the All Blacks in a pub (full of Kiwis by the way, i was the sole Englishman in there and got hammered every time England got turned over, missed a kick, dropped the ball, conceded a try...... by the mini part of New Zealand in Melbourne, but in a fun, jov...

A travel blog entry from Melbourne by global2809We made it to Melbourne by noon today & we're staying in the mac-daddy of hostels. We really got lucky with this one, which had come highly recommended. It's a dorm room & the 2 other girls made it in before us - but, they took the top bunks. Yeh!! Very comfortable room - lots of space - 4 cabinets for each of us & a nite lite above each bed. It...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by gloria18Today we had a really fun day. We went to the other side of Melbourne - had to take 2 trams to get there. They have quite a public bus/tram system. The trams run on tracks by electricity. We bought a day pass for $6.50. When you get on the bus you put your card in this slot & it reads it & spits it back to you. There are a couple of these machin...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by gloria18Yesterday we decided to take our first tour. It was with about 24 people. Small & very friendly. We had a lady tour guide, about 28 yrs. old. Put a nice slant on it. First we went to a wildlife park. We saw baby wombats who were so cute & cuddly. Like big stuffed animals. Then I got to feed baby kangaroos. The only kangaroos we had seen so far w...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by gloria18Hi all, we are now in melbourne after an awful journey from Adelaide on a train with 20 odd American teenage girls who just didnt shut up for 11hrs, then due to station works, we had to leave the train in Geelong (1hr from melb) & board a coach. Well i cant beleive im saying it but its quite chilly here, a mere 28degrees yesterday but its ok...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by jamie.kinnearHi all (or just Liz), had an amazing day yesterday, we rented a car & drove the great ocean road, worth the trip over here just for that, bend after bend of twisting coastal roads & around every corner a beautiful bay or inlet, for the 1st half (the surfers coast), from Torquay to Apollo bay, you are driving these roads with the Southern...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by jamie.kinnearHi all, we went to the grand prix yesterday to see Hamilton get a great start to the season. It was 39degrees but with all the cars generating heat & Albert park lake in the middle of the curcuit, it felt more like 45. The banks at side of track were too small, so to get to a corner to watch the race wouldve been just stupid, as there was no...

A travel blog entry from Melbourne by kateinausI stayed the weekend in Sydney for Harry's birthday, which was celebrated in true Aussie style with a huge BBQ. Then on the sunday we went out for Yum Cha's in a chinese resturant where I got to try chicken's feet as well as stuff myself full of various yummy dishes. Then it was time to get my **** in gear and start traveling round this country!...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by lucy.chipToday I am writing from the Backpackers World Travel Centre on 250 Flinders St in Melbourne. It's 36 degrees outside, the sun is shining, there's air con inside here... what more could you ask for? So yes, I have made it to Melbourne. The bit that I saw of Byron (or at least the place that I stayed at) didn't make much of an impression on me. Th...

A travel blog entry from Melbourne by nadinekarlHi everyone. Well I arrived in Melbourne this afternoon after a short 2 and a half hour flight down from Brisbane, where I had a fantastic weekend. Last night topped it off as I got to see the mighty Villa play on the tele in the pub. Marlon Harewood - what is going on there,all of a sudden! I take back every derogatory comment I ever made about...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by rodenandrewHi All, Well I'm loving Melbourne even if the weather is a little more familiar. Its been hovering around the 20c mark and I never thought I'd ever find that cold, but when I got off the plane from Brisbane on Monday, I felt the chill and have done ever since really. But still it's not raining during the day anyway so I can't complain and you ca...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by rodenandrewWell people, Australia is now over for us, and we couldn't be happier! We are tired of living in hostels with 7 other roommates and sometimes even grotesque puke on the floor of your room. Oh and did I mention that our towels were stolen?!? Not by our roomies, but by the cleaning staff! Our towels for Christ sake, our towels! Not our bags or clo...
A travel blog entry from Melbourne by thomasmbWe arrived in Melbourne after an uneventful 3.5 hour flight from Perth. On arrival, we caught the skybus to the city which cost $15. It was only about 20 mins to the Southern Cross train station and then we transferred on to a minibus which took us straight to our hostel - the Melbourne Metro YHA. The hostel is the 2nd YHA hostel we have stayed ...
