Mel is a city of 4 season..It's more relax and many good places to try their coffee..Like those Starbuck or coffee bean type...But I think some are even better...ppl are more friendly than in Sydney ..IMO ..The best is the free Tram ride within the square..Not sure get a tourist map..

Melb is the most European-ish Aussie city. You can tell from the architectures, arts, gardens, bars and restaurants etc, and, of course, people - most of the Italian and Greek Aussie population settled in Melb. So if you enjoy Europe, you'll definitely like Melb.

Sydney is more like New York - loud, in-your-face, fast pace, impersonal, and exciting, particularly in the Rocks/Darling Harbour area. You'll like Sydney more than Melb if you're the sociable, daring, outgoing type.

But both are great cities to visit although most Sporeans and Msians prefer Melb over Sydney to migrate or settle down.

The only 2 things that I can remember for Melbourne is the good food and shopping at the Queen Victoria Market(mix of all cultures) and the trip around the Great Ocean Room... nice view of the ocean... good beach to relax (some areas have calm beaches whereby wave is not too strong) I guess you can show down you pace of life... as for kids I can't think of what they can do or like to do there.

Yeah great ocean road is really nice.

Re the 12 apociles. There are no longer 12. The waves are slowly eroding the bases.

[Beetle75]

Hire a car and hit the great ocean rad whilst in Victoria. Check out the 12 apociles before the sea reclaims them all. If you are down that far A must is Tasmania, absolutely beautiful.
