... ahead of time to those that are from Melbourne, have been to Melbourne and loved it, or have heard rave reviews and are heading there. I didn't love Melbourne, however I believe I am slightly basis for a number of factors. One, the weather was shit, ...

... to see the penguins. I had loads of trouble getting accommodation for fri 22nd and sat 23rd, i assume because of the Melbourne open tennis. By 16:00 i had got a hostel to stay in tmrw night and had booked a trip up the great ocean road, until i got a call ...

... another meal and drinks. We weren't complaining, but we did feel a bit light headed. The taxi took us into Melbourne City to our hostel. Reading bad reviews the day before, it seemed they were true. It was as if we walked into a bar. People crowding the ...

... more by the people (ex work colleagues!) I spent it with, rather than Melbourne itself and my nomad existence in Melbourne as I had only booked a hostel over Christmas in advance and was booking the others 'on the fly'. I liked the CBD (Central Business ...

... large and busy place!  After sitting down, reading reviews and looking at flight prices for many minutes, we decided that Melbourne looked rather spiffing! :D  (yes I know Melbourne is the 2nd largest city in oz... never the less though... it ...

... a TV room and a free chocolate chip pancake breakfast.  What could go wrong? Yeah, we should have listened to the reviews. The hostel is above a bar in St. Kilda called the Elephant Wheelbarrow.  Apparently, this is a pretty cool place. ...

... went to look at Federation Square. I had heard mixed reviews of this, but actually quite liked it. Something I have discovered about Melbourne is that it has everything! No wonder people like to live here, its full of things to do - Australian Open ...
