So our 10 nights in Melbourne have come to an end. We get the greyhound bus tonight to Canberra, where we will spend one night before arriving in Sydney on Saturday night.During our stay in Melbourne we have covered most of the sights including Federation Square, The NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) - Australia, the Yarra River, St Kilda, NGV International, Queen Victoria Gardens, the Shrine of Remembrance and the Royal Botanical Gardens.

G’day!! Today we went on the ultimate Melbourne experience (apparently) – The Neighbours Tour!! We headed down to the Melbourne Metro for our pick-up in the early afternoon, where another crazy woman driver collected us in the Neighbours Tour Bus – cringe worthy!

St Kilda reminded us of Freemantle in Perth - it's a bit of a hippy town. We found the accommodation that we were meant to be staying in next week in St Kilda, but decided a...
