Re: First trip to Melbourne
Stumbled across this photo site this morning.
http://www.melbournephotos.net.au/index.php
It's got some great and some not so great photos of Melbourne. It's also got some great ones of Sydney as well.
Enjoy!

Re: First trip to Melbourne
I worked in Bornem in Belgium for 6 months and we travelled to Brussels or Bruges for weekends. Both cities seemed really pretty to me. Then again 90% of the time I was pissed.
And I can recommend the trains, where the toilet is a hole in the floor, so you crap on to the track. I'm guessing they've updated them by now.

Re: First trip to Melbourne
Melbourne really looks like absolute shyte on a grey day especially when it hasnt rained and things are brown but on a sunny day in spring it beautiful!
St kilda isn't that bad FFS I work there! You were probably there on a weekend.
Totally agree with the god damn Sydney vs Melbourne crap though, BOTH cities are so far up their own arses they're almost inside out.

Re: First trip to Melbourne
I'm still wondering who (apart from Hutch) said "... that the port location of the city is in any way better than the natural harbour of Sydney ..."?
