215 Little Collins Street Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 3000, 3-9669-0000

After a semi-exciting week in Sydney whose highlights included watching the Super Bowl at 10 am with about 100 Americans down at Coogee Beach (which included my roommate Ryan, Eric (who goes to Chicago GSB) and Leslie's friend Kim) and going out on Wednesday night, I left for Melbourne early Friday morning. And by early, I mean insanely early, since I had to get up at 5 am. Fortunately, getting to the airport for me is pretty easy as I live about a 10 minute walk (or a very short cab or bus r...
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia cwendelnWell, what can I say about Satruday in Melbourne. This was one of the weirdest experiences of my life. We awoke around 11 and turned on the news to find out that the current temperature was 104 degrees. At 11 am. By the time we got outside to walk around for lunch, the temperature reached 116 degrees. It was easily the hottest temperature I've ever felt. In fact, it was the hottest recorded day in the history of Melbourne. I'm not sure what the odds are that I would happen to be there on that...
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia cwendelnJan. 29. Arrived Melbourne aound 6:00 PM. We took a taxi to our hotel - the Victoria on Little Collins Street. It's an older hotel and not the Ritz but so far quite nice. The desk clerk helped us arrange a city tour for Jan. 30th. What a fantastic city! Our tour took us to most areas downtown and up into the hills in the suburbs. There are loads of parks. There are many, many sporting venues - Cricket stadiums, footbal stadiums, swimming pools, tennis courts. Remember that Melbourne hosted th...
Melbourne, Australia gclarke_99When you fly into Melbourne's Avalon airport, you're nowhere near Melbourne, just so you know. I didn't know that and couldn't believe we had a 78km drive to Melbourne from the airport. 78km! Ryanair would love this place. Our flight had been cancelled last minute and we'd bundled onto a later flight at a more suitable time. Only rub was that we were basically sent to sit at either end of the cabin. I relished my new found freedom and ordered 14 beers and hit on the airhostess (not really). W...
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia lisamcsherryWhen my mom and dad lived in East Melbourne over 30 years ago, they became friends with Trevor Barr. His daughter, Jo, is a few months younger than me. Jo and I met when my dad and I came back to Australia together when I was 8 years old and again 12 years ago when I came for a visit to Australia on my own before starting university. On the trip just over a decade ago, Jo was finishing high school and had a tight group of friends who I spent a lot of time with during the 5 days I was there. I...
