Went to Melbourne a while back for a long weekend. Kelly was on training for a week, but she decided to go up on the Thursday beforehand, and I decided to tag along for the weekend.
I have to say, it became my second favorite city in Australia next to Perth. I’ve since then learned that the weather is quite a lot to deal with and may recall my vote, but that weekend it was perfect!
We covered quite a lot of ground as well. We stayed in Williamstown right on the bay with a pretty sweet view of the city (a photo my wife wants to make art). We traveled to Ballarat to visit a wildlife park where we played Canadian tourists and were allowed to pet the kangaroos and koalas (and snakes). We traveled to Phillip Island where, whilst we don’t have any pictures, witnessed a flock of hundreds of penguins waddle in from sea to their homes scattered across the island. And, we circled the bay pretty much from one tip to the other stopping at random beaches and look outs. We spent one evening in the city where we had a nice dinner and watched the film ‘Australia’ on it’s opening night.
Definitely, a place I want to visit again. In fact the drive from Adelaide to Sydney with a decent chuck of time in/around Melbourne is what I have in mind. Will just have to time things for more good weather…
I’ve posted more photos here and here.
