Bah! Humbug! Melbourne Christmas Lights!
Hey there folks. Well, no destination may be a good destination in 2020, but we're all trying to find the Christmas spirit in some way or another. I don't go in big for Christmas these days, I like the quiet, but some have the energy and indeed money to decorate their houses with lights and …

Melbourne’s Beautiful Shrine of Remembrance
One spot in Melbourne that I think often gets overlooked by visitors is its amazing Shrine of Remembrance, which is located on St Kilda roads in the precinct of the Botanical Gardens.

Around Melbourne – Acland Street, St Kilda
Last week I wrote about the Chapel Street Precinct, not too far from the CBD in Melbourne.

Knowing Melbourne – City Circle tram

Tasting Melbourne – Hofbrauhaus (German Restaurant)
A number of weeks ago now (well, as per when this post will appear) I visited Chinatown in Melbourne. We have a pretty decent Chinatown in the centre of town, where you certainly can find a plethora of Chinese eateries.

Spots in Melbourne – State Library
The State Library is a significant landmark in the city that is Melbourne. Right now it’s undergoing renovations, and looks a bit rubbish as you can see, but it’s certainly a useful place to note if you’re visiting. Why? Well not so much because it has all the Harry Potter books, and actually I don’t …
