Hi 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 complai...

Needing a change in scenery, I changed hostels today.  Thus much of my morning was spent packing and relocating.  After another lunch courtesy of the market vendors I began a grand walkabout through Melbourne's inner neighborhoods.  My trek began heading north on Lygon Street, the Italian district.  Three blocks of nearly con...

Spent the morning in Melbourne before catching flight back to Hong Kong.

Hello again,   All is well in Melbourne.  I have put away my shorts and flip flops and have readjusted nicely to the brisk Melbourne winter.  I had a chance to catch up with all of my friends and even managed to make a few new ones, as classes have started.  Yep.  My final semester at Melbourne Uni.  I know everyone...

Wednesday, July 04, 2007 It's exactly two weeks before I return home. It's a strange thought to be honest. I still don't think it's hit me yet that I'm coming back. I get little nervous flashes of excitement from time to time when I think about it, but otherwise life just chugs along nicely out here in St. Kilda. A certain part of my traveler sp...

This was our third visit to Melbourne and Bobbi & Stephen didn't disappoint with their choice of accommodation - the penthouse apartment on the 35th floor of City Tower for 5 nights. Our days were spent sight-seeing at quite a relaxed pace - St Kilda Market, the National Gallery, Federation Square's Ian Potter Gallery - and the evenings enjo...

hello everyone how are things? well frans family arrived safe and sound and before they could get over their jetlag we were all on the plane again and headed for Melbourne. We had about 5 days here so we decided to hire an 8 seater people carrier and do a bit of touring. First day we decided to go driving down the great ocean road which is nice ...

Friday, we got a fairly early start and drove back to Melbourne checking into a hotel near the heart of the city. We unloaded and started off almost immediately for our goal for the day: the Melbourne Zoo, said to be the oldest in the world. We had about 3 hours to visit the zoo which has a large section dedicated to Australian animals which we ...

Hello again from sunny Melbourne! Yes the sun is out! But it may indeed be raining in an hour. I think Crowded House must have written Four Seasons in One Day about Melbourne because thats definately what we seem to get. Quite excited though as we may actually get to spend a day on the beach today! So what have I been up to since the last time w...

Hello all. Well last day before I get to Melbourne and the weather is officially pants. It like a autumnal English morning, but what is really odd is that its still nice ( I know that makes no sense what so ever, but I know what I mean !!) I suppose the coast road and all the lush green scenery still looks fantastic even if it is covered with mi...
