Okay, well after somewhat of an ordeal, i arrived and managed to locate my hostel!!

The hostel itself is actually pretty smart. So day one, well.... so i go to chat with the guy at the hostel reception and i say look i have 3 hours to kill, what do you recommend? he says oh if i were you i'd pop up the street on the left and check out the market, its the biggest and best australian market around. So needless to say off i trot, thinking this could be cool....

Takes me 5 minutes to get there.. i walk inside... oh dear lord what a crap hole its like my worst nightmare, it was worse than i imagine primark to be ... of all the sodding places to send me... a shed full of s***. By this time i was thinking if this is the best melbourne has to offer, i need to get out of here!!

I then walked into town and walked by the river taking pics (see facebook). it was actually reallly quite cool!!!

Thank the lord and really.. sort that gypo out!!
