Melbourne

The Drive to Melbourne from the Blue Mountains took quite along time so we had a little stop over point in the lovely town of Eden.

When we made it to Melbourne we set up camp just on the outskirts of the city, it was a bit of a mission to get into the city but it didnt bother us too much!

Melbourne is a lovely city, which is not as daunting as Sydney. You can find your way around a little bit more easily, yet it is just as pretty. There is a river which runs through the centre and you can ever go and sit on some floating bits of Grass/astroturf for your lunch. St.Kilda is a place just outside the city centre on the beach where you can chill out through the day or go and watch the sunset at nights. We went there one evening and got to see the little penguins (also known as fairy penguins) come in to their little homes in the rocks once the sun had set, they were adorable. One day when we were there it actually reached 41 degrees, it was boiling so we made it to brighton beach which was just further on from St. Kilda!

We all feel that our time in Melbourne was not long enough and that we still more to see, so its on our list to come back too!!!
