Mad About Melbourne by Linh
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Melbourne and spending the last few days in the Donald Bradman room was a lovely change, but I still love the Penguin room.
I'll be missing Melbourne when I leave and will definitely return next year to see more theatre, live entertainment and visit the Melbourne Aquarium again.
I haven't been to many eateries as I'm not a dedicated foodie but I will attempt to increase my visitations to restaurants and cafes during future trips to Melbourne.
I'll miss The Stork Hotel, and will look out for more theatre when Helen and Paul Madden open up their new theatre venue next year. Hopefully it would be in the CBD and within walking distance.
Best Things About Melbourne:
- Everything in the CBD is within walking distance including the Melbourne Aquarium, the Victorian Arts Centre, the Immigration Museum, Federation Square, Chinatown, Greek Precinct, Queen Victoria Market, Bourke Street Mall.
- There are internet cafes on every street. Some internet cafes are within metres of each other.
- The Skybus Super Shuttle which transfers you from Tullamarine Airport to the Southern Cross Station, where you then board a Skybus Mini Shuttle to transport you to your hotel.
- Choco Churro, the enchanted Spanish doughnut.
- The Victorian Arts Centre which is the equivalent to the Adelaide Festival Centre.
- The Queen Victoria Market which is combination of Adelaide's Central Market and the Brickworks Market.
Worst Things About Melbourne
- The sexual predators who goose, grope and rub up against women and young girls on crowded trams. This would become a problem in Adelaide if Transadelaide decides to remove more seats from public transport instead of getting more trains, trams and buses. (Yes, I was groped during a short trip on a crowded tram).
- The closure of the historic Stork Hotel, not only losing accommodation for tourists but also a wonderful theatre venue.
