.... many people I've met have said you either like Melbourne or Sydney, not generally both. Well Im now in Sydney having left Melbourne behind & I've come to the realisation that Im not a big fan of either! Mainly due to them both being huge cities with so much going on & I feel so insignificant in them!
Melbourne is a nice place, if I had to sum it up in 6 words those words would be:
Birmingham by the sea, with trams!
I stayed 1 week in the CBD (Central Business District) then 2-3weeks down in St Kilda by the beach which was pretty nice, especially the 'Home Travellers Motel' run by a lovely couple. Murray recommended it & I had fun there meeting alot of lovely people (couple of photos below)
(Lisa, Una & I before night out in St Kilda)
Cycling along the promenades between Port Melbourne & Brighton (theres a Brighton in each city it seems!) was good exercise. Aside from Murray I've also met a couple of brummies, typically a bluenose & leicester city supporter as well as Hannah on the tour from Melbourne to Sydney who just so happens to come from Aldridge and know Helen & Dave Bateman....small world!
Myself & Alex at the MCG....AFL is a great & confusing sport to watch!
The tourgroup in Tasmania (check out photos on flickr link, Tasie is a beautiful place if the weather was nicer it's be a place I could live in easily!)
The Neighbours tour & night, Grand Prix & catching up with Murray are the best things about my time in Melbourne. I dont know if Id go back there but it was a good experience (as well as an expensive one - backpacking is only cheap if you dont eat/drink, and you sleep outdoors on streets!).
Next entry will provide proof I met Muz/Hannah then cover Melbourne-Canberra(part 1)-Sydney.
STAY TUNED!
