Re: Melbournes best kept secrets
This is the secret part of Williamstown and probably the best kept secret on our side of town OT...

Alas OE, not so secret on a warm day or night when a lot of the people who live out west make it down to the beach. The mass of speed humps on The Esplanade evidence that it can be 'hoonsville' when it's hot. This was on a 40+ day 3 months ago.

Ozzie and Oz those two beaches don't even look like the same place until you really inspect them. It just shows how the weather can change the canvas.
Good photos.

Re: Melbournes best kept secrets
That Cafe/Bar is one of my favourite places to have a quiet one.... It generally means you're totally relaxed.... It's so close to the water when the tide is in as well. Midweek during the daytime in the summer is the best.... It's about 35 mins from me here in Coburg... I think Oz can walk there.

The beach is a good half hour walk from our place. Williamstown is surrounded by water on three sides so we locals call it the beach, around by the footy ground to the timeball is the back beach and our place is on the front.

Sounds like you could be talking about The Epicurean in Red Hill South.

Where are you eating in Hampton? Not Roti Boti by any chance?

Have a good one Ozzie.
That name is hilarious. Lets hope the food doesn't do it justice.

Re: Melbournes best kept secrets
Not with all the "Clean" eaters we had with us... The event finished a bit earlier than we all anticipated @ 3.30pm ish and the wood fired pizza place they had in mind didnt open till 5pm... I think it was in Elsternwick so I got that wrong. We went back to our side of town and Lygon St.
Good tip re Boti Boti though, I'll go there in the future.
Btw I've never seen so many Gyms in one place as on that South Rd/Nepean Hway intersection.

Haha! I knew it would be an Indian restaurant. Great name. I like their humour.
