The shopping in Melbourne is on a par with the best, I would rate it as a mini New York. A definite restaurant to visit is the Oyster bar at the Waterfront Casino. I ate there twice in a row.

Better stay away from Ackland street which is too rough. St. Kilda has nice restaurants in Fitzroy street, especially Cafe di Stasio.

We walked a lot, revisited St. Kilda and Botanic Gardens. Did spend an inordinate amount of time waiting for the free circular tram, and on several occasions after waiting for nearly 30 minutes walked to where we wanted to visit.

Visited too many places to list. The $26/week trolley/train/bus pass was an outstanding value. I was primarely there for the Aus open tennis tournament, but also visited many neighborhoods. As a music collector Melbourne is fabulous, many fine lp/cd shops. In general Melbourne is just a fantastic city to visit.

Melbourne is a fantastic friendly city - well worth a visit. Try the Rialto Tower for a bird's eye view. Eat at the Taxi in Federation Square; and have a coffee in C&J's down the arcade.

We walked a lot but trams were an option to travel around the city. Plenty of restaurants in the city, but our favourites were along the River Yarra, it was beautiful dining here at night.
The river cruise to see Blue penguins was lovely, and a nice meal and wine was provided on the boat if you could keep it down when it got a bit choppy out in the bay!! (I didn't manage this and regretted drinking all that red wine!! Still it was a colourful evening!). The art gallery is worth a trip too, shopping is fantastic plenty of big name shops and bargains to be had. We didn't have time to go to the market unfortunately but they say its very good.
Cheap internet access available from firefly travel centre. We also booked our coach to Sydney from here. Bus was very good with a film to watch, but don't recommend the 12 hour journey at night (not comfortable to sleep even with the reclining seats).

The Melbourne Zoo is the best in the world and I highly recommend the Nudel Bar restaurant on Bourke Street.

Melbourne is a good place to go to. Tours with AAT Kings to Ocean Road and Puffing Billy are great. Being an Asian, food there is abundant and easily available. The Chinese Restaurants like Sharkfin, Kung Ming, Red Silk and Silverbird in China Town are good restaurants to go to. Besides, the Japanese restaurant next door has great varieties. Trams at Swanston Street, just in front of the hotel makes travelling around easy.
