TO DO
HOTEL
In Melbourne I do recommend the QT hotel because in particular of its atmosphere and breakfast.
ROOFTOP
This a very special thing in Melbourne. People love Rooftops and there are full from 6 pm to the night! Inter alia visit Blossom Rooftop and the QT!
SHOPPING
If not shopping is nice, we went to many casual wear shops.
I still have many socks from there. Melbourne is quite trendy !
ARTY
Melbourne is may be the capital of the street art. Do not miss Hosier lane, AC/DC Lane, Blender lane and Paynes Place (you will discover Bansky works also). Behind doors you will find arty workshop and strange bars like houses the wall of some streets are very artistically painted and you can see that we enjoyed that!
PARC
Go to the Birrarung Maarr (along the river).
FOOD
Dont forget to visit the Queen Victoria Market. One of the best place in the world for food! Nice restaurants and very nice Italian restaurants in particular at Bourke Street Mall (Il Carretto, Il Bacaro, Foglia di Fico and Cia Amore).
Have also a brunch at Fitzroy open till 5pm!
RESTAURANTS
Seat at Degraves Street and enjoy coffe and a traditionnal australian menu. Have a look at Rice Paper scissors (Asian food)!
TEA ROOM
Go to Hopetown tea room !
VIEW
Go to Melboune skydeck
MUSEUMS
National Gallery of Victoria but also the Immigration Museum.
GREAT OCEAN ROAD
Its was quite a long journey but along the road we stop to see the birds and we finally reached a place where you see the twelve Apostles: eight big limetones block emerging from the ocean. Stunning. Finally we went back through the tropical forest without any problem and get to the airport in order to go to our next stops Adélaïde and Kangaroo island. In Australia everything is so well organized that dropping a car and checking in at the airport takes five minutes. To a point that you wonder if you forgot something!
