Will you go visit Melbourne...
by sjwish
Will you go visit Melbourne someday? Mind you. You HAVE TO go to the Great Ocean Road. It is really fascinating with between green and blue dazzling bubbles and breakers. I really miss the beautiful and clean invironment in Melbourne. Green trees in city and the grass on the street. Easy-going people..
The ride III
by iandsmith
I repeated it the next day, this time reaching Studley Park, one of Melbourne’s 229 of which the city is justly proud. It’s here that one has to dismount and walk down some stairs to continue the riverside track and here is where I decided to quit.
There are cafes en route should you really wish to make a day of it and, if your time in the city is not limited, it’s a great way to see what most tourists miss but the locals enjoy.
