Australia vacation in fine city of Melbourne
September 11th, 2009
Down under is Australia, way down under down under is the Australian capitol city of the state of Victoria, Melbourne. Melbourne is on the south eastern tip of the continent from here is the jumping off point ot the infamous island state of Tazmania is off the shore of Victoria. Melbourne is built around a large bay giving the residences and visitors here plenty of beaches to access. We chose to stay a a boutique hotel Melbourne near the ocean. Wanting to have plenty of time spend at the beach we didn’t want to spend too much time getting there. A short walk from our room we would be strolling on the beach. There were a lot of nice places to walk in the area and catch beautiful views of the ocean. One evening we walked up the hill to enjoy the sunset. We spent several evening on Oliver’s hill here enjoying the sun set. After which we would get to seeing some of the night life offered here. Plenty of night clubs, bars, theaters and coffee houses to keep you entertained in the evening to the wee hours of the morning or even till sunrise which happened to us once while we were there. Victoria is home to nearly 5 million Australians and being as far south as it is ha a more temperate climate than some of the more northern cities. We did rent a car for a few days to take some drives in to the surrounding area and see the landscape we came upon a windmill, that was kind of unexpected. Getting out of the city a couple of times add a nice balance to the trip and gave us a perspective as to how life in southern Australia is lived.
