Melbourne

I idolise Melbourne from afar, but really, were the Commonwealth games and the Grand Prix all that great?

You could have had me with just three of those words: Cheap .Rent.Trams.

I’m with you Mikey! Rent’s cheap, housing is good, food is great quality and variety, nightlife is abundant and laid-back, great live music, excellent shopping, an actual community vibe…and the weather’s not so bad!

You forgot to mention the Queen Victoria Markets Emoolilu! Remember your penchant for the $10 three fancy cheese deal? And the best coffee? And the best organic food selection? And the cheapest food anywhere! And what other market in Australia has thousands of dead bodies under it’s car park?

Although I now live in Byron, which has many climatic advantages, Melbourne is the best city in the world for a young creative person (without children).

Not that it’s bad for kids but its not the best.

My Future home!

the music scene is a hundred million times better than sydney's, it's full of lovely freaks, everyone is friendly, the homeless people make art, the bars and clubs are awesome... what more can i say? :P
