sunny Melbourne

"From St Kilda to Kings Cross is thirteen hours on a bus ... I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour, all that land and all that water, for that one sweet pro....menade."

What I love about Melbourne (not quite so eloquently as Paul Kelly!) in no particular order:

* balmy summer nights with vino and a great mate on a footpath in fitzroy street
* cool changes
* coffee
* mum
* mum's coffee
* the orchestra's free outdoor summer concerts
* moonlight cinema in the gardens
* seasons
* Ti Amo
* history
* my history
* walking home from work
* the green bits
* the grungy bits
* student rush tickets
* my sneaky free carpark by the river
* Bennett's Lane
* Kakke & Thaila
* bartering over cheese and tomatoes in Italian
* eavesdropping on old Italian ladies gossip
* Hawkers Market
* republicanism

.... and everything i'm yet to discover

Adelaide is better :P

I was in melbourne just a few weeks ago...and i dont like the city

But i guess its because not much can be good compared to adelaide.. :D

Or maybe its cos i live in adelaide..thats probably got a lot to do with it...cos most of the things u listed are...things that you can only appreciate when you live there

it's not a competition ;)
just needed to put that stuff down last night to remind me!
home's home!!
i had a very similar experience recently visitng a friend overseas - had been to her city before and hated it, but this time went and stayed with her family and saw the way teh locals see the city and fell in love with it!!
next trip to melbourne, maybe ask the locals and it will at least make the trip more fun!
