Degraves Street, Cafe Andiamo CBD Melbourne
Melbourne – Day 4 – Part 2 I read about a Parisian styled laneway with lots of coffee and Italian food before leaving for Australia, but with so much going on, I kind of forgot about this place. That was until we stumbled upon this laneway the previous day as we were exploring the other […]
Eureka Tower Melbourne
Melbourne – Day 4 – Part 1 It’s not the tallest building in the world, it’s not the tallest building in Australia either but it is the highest public vantage point in a building in the Southern Hemisphere at 285 m (935 ft). Eureka Tower in Melbourne yields amazing views of Melbourne (at least it really is the […]

The Laneways of CBD Melbourne
Melbourne – Day 3 – Part 4 Laneways are the (not) scary, (not) ugly, (not) dirty back alley ways of Melbourne. Between the buildings are many (often cobblestone) laneways and lots of graffiti. Without even knowing it, you’ll notice these laneways throughout the CBD (or not). I basically noticed that the sides of many buildings […]
CBD: Flinders Station, Federation Square, and the Public Art in Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne – Day 3 – Part 3 Now that I’ve been to Sydney and Melbourne, I remember a few things that are uniquely Melbourne (in my opinion): the cable cars that run through CBD, and the street art (and the laneways…in my next post). We stayed just across the Yarra River near the Crown Casino […]
HuTong Dumpling Bar: Chinatown CBD Melbourne
Melbourne – Day 3 – Part 2 14-16 Market Lane Melbourne, VIC http://www.hutong.com.au/ Auntie knew exactly what she wanted for lunch and guided us to HuTong Dumpling Bar.

Melbourne – Day 2 – Part 3 (Philip Island Day Tour – Part 2) After an amazing trip to MARU Koala and Animal Park, we had plenty of time to kill before the main attraction of this trip; the Penguin Parade. Extragreen Holidays took us to the Islantis Surf Experience, the Koala Conservation Centre, then […]
Koala, Kangaroos, Sheep, etc at MARU Koala and Animal Park: Philip Island Day Tour – Part 1
Melbourne – Day 2 – Part 2 (Philip Island Day Tour – Part 1) When I started to plan for this trip to Australia, there were a couple things I really really wanted to see in Melbourne. That was to go see the Penguins and touch a koala. After asking my Auntie about this she booked […]
