My sister was going to work so I basically had a day to burn on my own, and boy did I have the ride of my life. The bike rental store at Federation Square opens at 10 and closes at 5 so I basically cycled for 6 hours straight, stopping only for toilet and water breaks and pushing my bike across path...

Rundell's Warrnambool is a horse riding operator who runs both trail rides and lessons in Warrnambool, Victoria. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better ride operator in Victoria. As a member of the Melbourne University Horse Riding Club (MUHRC), I've visited a number of operators, and few compare to...

Avoid this shopping centre at all costs during the christmas period!! It is soo busy and it will take you forever to get a car park. Having said that, shopping at 4am on the days leading up to christmas is a unique experience!!

Camberwell Market is arguably better for Australian 'stuff' than Vic Market. At Victoria Market, if you don't want to buy something, you can go away for a few days and think about it. When you come back, it's probably still going to be there because it's a mass produced t-shirt that says 'Australia'...

The spring races bring out the best and worst in everybody. Girls float around the city in designer garments, lost hats are strewn all about the streets and all about is an air of excitement.
It is not spring (our seasons are back to front), but races still run this time of year. In fact, I was w...

Oh I can spend hours browsing savers' racks. Sooooooo many clothes grouped by size. I found many great warm jumpers for my trip to the UK here - all for under $6!! and a few pairs of jeans as well. I think I may struggle to pay full price for clothes again. I have shopped at the Savers in Dandenong ...

Public transport in Melbourne is fairly good - we have trams, trains and buses.
The ticketing is done via the Metlink system; and you can buy these either on trams, at train stations, or from the driver when you get on the bus.
All trams (and the buses and trains up to certain stops/stations) ar...
