It’s got a lot going for it. There is a Australia and then there is Melbourne. The place is very different from other bits. There are so many alley ways with a cool club or a band at the end.

Yes. Melbourne is very fun. Lots of things to do no matter where you are.

I guess it is true about what you think is ‘fun.’ I think you’ll like Melbourne if you like the following –
1.) Good coffee – We are known to have some of the best blends in the world! Try out Atomica on Brunswick St for some REALLY good stuff.
2.) GREAT food – We are BIG eaters here in Melbourne, we are also v. multicultural, so there is every type of food your after from vegan to steak, to vietnamese, to Japanese.
3.) If you love good clothes – There’s every type of clothes in Melbourne. If you love opshopping there is HEAPS of op shops and vintage stores. If you like designer clothes check out Collins St. or Myer/David Jones in the CBD.
4.) Nightlife is GREAT – There are a crap load of bars in the city that make some extremly yummy drinks.

It’s true Melbourne has erratic weather, but that’s part of it’s charm! After a few REALLY hot days, it usually rains, so it cools you down.
The girl aboves me believes that the Gold Coast is better, but the Gold Coast is TOTALLY different. If you want tacky nightclubs, girls and guys in tight clothes and dodgy bars then go to the Gold Coast by all means. Melbourne is ALOT classier and is probably the most European out of all the Australian states.
