Australia Travel Guide

The best city in the world.

use the public transport!!

The city of shopping, the famous cuckoo clock that plays Waltzing Matilda and Mt Dandenong which makes for a nice day trip. Don't drive unless you are very brave. The trams and traffic have an uneasy set of rules. The Melbourne Tennis Center is home to the Australian Open and of course this is the home of Aussie Rules. Lots of great Greek and Italian restaurants and a thriving metropolis of cultures.

Trams are the best way to get around Melbourne

If you're interested in film, make sure you get along to the australian film museum in Federation Square...there are great interactive pods where you can watch Australian short films for as long as you like, free of charge.

Let's start with Hobart... Tasmania's capital city with an intriguing blend of heritage and lifestyle,scenery and vibrant culture. Hobart is warm sandstone, bright spinnakers on the River Derwent, fish punts at the docks, the slap of halyards on masts, coffee under the striped sun umbrellas of Salamanca, an occasional frosting of snow on Mt.Wellington, bush tracks and birdsong. Hobart is a city of history, with gracious homes and buildings, colonial cottages and warehouse,heritage parks and gardens. Trust me..it's the best destination in the world. Hobart is a city of bustling markets, fun, a flourishing arts scene,festival, and entertainment, and of fine restaurants. Savour Tasmania's superb cool-climate wines,famous beers, and delicious, fresh foods. And it's a must for chocoholics! Check out the famous Cadbury World Chocolate Factory Tours at Claremont.

Hmmm where to begin? Sydney is a fabulous city, not only because it's on the coast and has the Opera House as a trademark but simply because it is still at a stage where we can call it a metropolitan city but isn't yet so terribly congested. And that is truly the beauty of the city, with lots of green and recreational areas. But now to some insider tips: - Do the Harbour Bridge Climb (it's breathtaking) -Visit the Rocks and eat out in Darling Harbour (the atmosphere is great and relaxed): Restaurant recommendations: Angus Steak House, Jordan's seafood restaurant - Take the monorail to get around town: Oh at the QVB exit there's an enormous bookshop (if you're looking for a book, they most probably will have it): Kinokunya Bookshop - Stop at Star City, the QVB (old shopping arcade) - Visit Tarronga Zoo - Head to Bondi Beach for a weekend on the beach!

Must see the M.C.G, ride on a tram, eat at Lygon St Carlton. Try the cakes on Ackland St, and take in a Sunday session at the Espy in St.Kilda
