I'm going to a show at the Hi-Fi bar at the end of February [a Thursday night] and was wondering how easy it was to get a taxi from that area at about midnight? Are there many taxis in that general area that we can just go to or would it be best to book one before hand or what?...Read Full Article»

Hey guys!

I was wondering what you thought of the busking within Bourke Street and the general CBD area. Are there any acts you've seen in your lifetime that you've actually stopped to watch, and even perhaps gave a little money to?
I was thinking of getting a permit to play guitar and sing some popular stuff on the streets in order to give myself more of a name within the community. That's pretty old and boring though, maybe I could do a little dance routine too :)....Read Full Article»

Anyone happen to know what time Myer/DJ's Bourke Street open tomorrow morning? Neither websites mention anything about public holidays...

I have to admit, it has been quite sometime since I wandered along Little Bourke Street. Thinking of enjoying some yum cha in the spacious Dragon Boat restaurant, I was bewildered when I encountered boarded windows and the entire complex in total lock down. What happened? I know the cinema was shut down some time ago but I was expecting the entire complex to be closed up.

Where does Mayor So go to for his meals now?...Read Full Article»

Over the weekend I was walking around the Bourke Street mall when I spotted the above billboard. Surely, I thought it was only me who had their mind in the gutter. But alas, it"s another ad using double entendre to sell a product. Clever. If only it was Paris Hilton instead of Erin McNaught....Read Full Article»

So, how have all your day been? I witnessed the worst possible dust storm blowing from the west this morning, enjoyed the gale force wind that saw trees broken in halves. I have yet to witness a flying cow but the welcoming rain that followed was a blessing since my car was covered completely in dust. The Melbourne International Flower Show was cancelled and visitors were evacuated after falling branches hit several visitors. And that is just the weather.

The traffic ... how long did it take you to drive/ride home? I saw the long traffic on the Calder snaking itself back into the city. I missed all the chaos on the Westgate bridge, and the traffic out of the city was really a standing room only carpark....Read Full Article»

good morning, sweet melbourne! someone at school sent me this:

The Street Art Project in Union Lane will see a large mural covering 540 square metres of wall space created along both sides of Union Lane in the heart of the CBD. A group of young people are working to create the mural alongside highly skilled professional artist-mentors.

The project is a key component of the City of MelbourneGraffiti Mentoring Program, which aims to introduce young people to the official processes of organising and producing legal street art...Read Full Article»

After exams are over, I'm going to reward myself with a souvlaki. The only place that I know that charcoal cooks their lambs is 'Stalactites'. Any one aware of another charcoal cooking place in the city?

I think I might also eat as much as I can at an all-you-can-eat as well. I'm only aware of Pizza Hut on Bourke Street, a place close by underground, and a vegetarian one on Swanston Street (never been there before, reviews?), and the ones at Crown Casino....Read Full Article»

Adjoining the eastern boundary of Carlton, 2 km. north-east of Melbourne's centre, Fitzroy was Melbourne's first suburb. The eastern boundary of Fitzroy adjoins Collingwood.

The name comes form Sir Charles Fitz Roy, Governor of New South Wales, 1846-1855. Alexandra Parade divides the former Fitzroy municipality into Fitzroy North and Fitzroy South....Read Full Article»
