How not to be a tourist
in Melbourne
If you can’t navigate past the over-zealous cyclists, labour strikes, lactose intolerant dog walkers, oncoming trams and occasional scientologists, don’t worry, because Melbourne is possibly the most enjoyable city in the world to get lost in! You’ll be constantly greeted by the lingering aroma of gourmet coffee that fills the air, stepping over a trove of vintage finds from Camberwell market, discovering sudden bursts of the world’s best curated street art in a cobbled alley or two along Flinders Lane (Banksy would be right at home here), or find yourself on a rooftop bar, sprawled on astroturf and enjoying an ice cold pint of Victoria Bitter amongst some of the most stylish and artistically tuned people in the southern hemisphere. Whatever your journey, Melbourne – in all its pseudo-mysterious-industrial-Victorian quaintness – is sure to charm your happy socks off.
Visit areas outside of Melbourne city. They are extremely varied and offer some of the best alpine, beach and forest experiences 1 – 2 hours away.

Don’t expect fast food to be fast. Fast food is delivered in an Aussie “no worries” pace. On that note, Burger King is known as Hungry Jacks. Why, we don’t know.
