Melbourne

Apart from all the eating and the shopping, there are plenty of things to do in Melbourne/ state of Victoria. Believe it or not, Melbourne does have things going on apart from shop til' you drop. Although, there is nothing wrong with that...

please note... lots of photos!

See a gig - preferably one that you like that isn't coming to Perth (in my case, I didn't know the band, but I liked them by the end of the night).

S and I ended up seeing Lost Prophets.

The first support band

Second support band - complete idiots..

  
Lead singer of Lost Prophet

Go to Yarra Valley - BOOK one of the estates restaurants - eat, drink - take in the scenary - take lots of photos - wander the valley.

Go Bar-Hopping in the Melbourne CBD - spend $300+ on cocktails and love every moment of it - end the night at maccas before stumbling back to the hotel, which is located in the centre of it all.
