    Rialto Observation Deck is good – but if you're cheap (like me), the lavatories on the 3th floor of the Sofitel Hotel on Collins Street are a free alternative!

    Thanks for the tip. I always need to pee, so the lavatories might be the way to go ;)

    Top things to do in Melbourne include coffee at Peligrinis, and pizza on Lygon St! Not sure if I'll manage to fit either of these in on my trip here this week however!

    Thanks, Fi! I'll slot them into my schedule as I dearly love both caffeine and pizza :)

    All I saw of both Sydney and Brisbane was the airport! I hope you have a fantastic trip and I'm so excited to know you're spreading your wings. I agree, many of us ache to travel.

    I was thrilled to travel to California last May for a conference. It was a trip that created a LOT of firsts, my first plane flight, my first out of W.A., my first out of AU, etc. Now I'm committed to going the that conference in New York next year. Save, save, save.

    Tillee (you met her at Pirate PTUB - my sister) is going on a P&O Cruise in October. She's so excited about it.

    I hope you'll share with us all the fun things you do while you're away. We'll explore Melbourne and Sydney vicariously through you until we can experience it ourselves. ;-)

    Meanwhile, school holidays have me vowing to do a short explore of South W.A. Any must see sights you recommend?

    California & New York? Sounds much better than Melbourne & Sydney (no offense to their residents!). But yes, I will keep you updated on my travel mini-adventures for sure :)

    If you've never been down south, you MUST visit at least a few wineries & Olio Bello olive oil place! And the Bootleg Brewery is also worth a look in ;)

    I second the motion for food on Lygon Street (don't limit yourself to Pizza!) Wicked is also playing in Melbourne if you like the musical kind of thing. Wandering around Queen Victoria Market is lots of fun (and plenty of food abounds). Head down to South Bank at night when they fire up the big, err, "fire beacons" (not exactly sure what their real name is) and while you're there, stop in at the casino for a quick flutter!

    Thanks, Tim! Will see if I have time for Wicked, and will check out the markets for sure. Someone said there are 24hr bowling alleys at the casino, so I might try and combine those last suggestions all together :)

    The top thing to do in Melbourne is visiting Queen Victoria Market. It is the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere and center for trade and commerce, as well as a popular venue for visitors.
