Thanks Bunyip Tours
by adamlazz
I took part in a Great Ocean Road tour with Bunyip tours and it was a great decision. The small personal group with a tour guide that had great knowledge was really amazing. The Otway Ranges and the coast (12 apostles, Shipwreck cove, London bridge) had a amazing view. It was a unforgettable experience. The feeling i got the most out of the time i was here thanks to Bunyip Tours.
RIALTO TOWERS. The Melbourne...

RIALTO TOWERS. The Melbourne Observation Deck is located 253 metres above the city on the 55th floor of the landmark Rialto Towers, the tallest office building in the Southern Hemisphere. The Observation Deck offers spectacular 360-degree views of Melbourne and surrounds from large internal and external viewing areas. The Melbourne Observation Deck is situated on the corner of Collins and King Street in the heart of the CBD. It is easily accessed by public transport on the Collins Street tramline and is only a short walk from Melbourne's two major train stations, Spencer and Flinders stations. It costs AUD10.50 per person adult ticket to go up to the Observation Deck. Elevators travel 55 floors in 38 seconds to ferry passengers to the top of the Rialto to the observation deck, where visitors can enjoy sweeping views for 60kms (on a very clear day) in each direction, taking in the Great Dividing Range to the north, Mornington Peninsula to the south, the Dandenongs to the east and the Yoo Yangs to the west. The Rialto Towers (253m/830ft) is ranked 15th in the World Federation of Great Towers. The number one spot was held by The CN Tower, Toronto Canada (553m/1815ft).

ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. This cathedral is located at the corner of Swanston and Flinders Streets. The lovely warm stone of St Paul's Cathedral with its lofty spires and towers and trees, gives it an air of calm, as it stands at this busy intersection. It was on this site, once a corn and hay market, that Melbourne's first official church service was held in 1836. The cathedral was started in 1880 and completed in 1931. Its interior features superb stained glass windows and lovely cedar woodwork and craved in gothic style.
Some food tips...
by grkboiler
When you hear someone say "Macca's", they are talking about McDonald's.
If Hungry Jack's looks similar to Burger King, its because it IS Burger King.
Say you are in a restaurant and you want to order a sandwich with everything on it - you will order it "with the lot". As in "souvlaki with the lot".
That one day in September....

AFL Grand Final - Australian Football League GF betweeen Essendon Bombers and Brisbane Lions. This was in 2001 and my beloved Bombers were beaten! Not a good day to be at the footy I tell you. But we stayed to the end, give us that. Bring your binoculars, beer, meat pie and hat and suncream. Also your fave team's jumper or scarf, and yell your lungs out!
