Joan:
We stayed at the Windsor, a fine old hotel on Spring Street. For fine dining, there is a
dining room in the hotel that I enthusiastically recommend.
Melbourne has great theater. The Melbourne Age, the big paper is on available on-line,
and will give you lots of ideas of shows. We saw "Chicago" there in the old "Majestic
Theater". First class production.
The ethnic sections of the city are great. Don't miss the Italian part of town.
The city is perfectly safe, to my experience, but I guess you can get into trouble
anywhere these days.
To the west of Melbourne is Kangaroo Island. I did not get there last trip, but I'm told it's
quite a place to see lots of native critters. I will get there next time.
If you can't find the Age, let me know. I have the URL somewhere.
Whenever I talk about Australia, I feel like packing my bags.
Best wishes,
Bob
P.S. Don't miss the War Memorial Building, and the adjacent park. |
