You know, one of the reasons I love to write about my trips is because it makes me travel back there. I can see the things as if I am there right now and sometimes even different tastes or smells come to life. I know it sounds a little crazy, but it is like that to me when writing about Melbourne, Australia...
Melbourne is a city where "foodies" and "wine lovers" will have a blast. A place where you can find anything from tradicional street Food to fine dining in elegant surroundings. Sure, you can found this in many other cities, but there is something about the food scene in Melbourne that sets it apart.
Being a tourist destination many of the hotels, also have tons of good options that will satisfy the international travelers. However, if you want to really taste the Aussie food, all you need to do is walk around and find your way to all the many places, affordable, comfortable and full of locals to casually chat with. This way you will get to know the "real" Aussie scene and culture. You might even find a local that is willing to show you some other places because the Australians are really hospitable and very easy going. Overall, they always seem happy to see new faces in their country and more than willing to show new visitors around their city for a few hours.

I had to travel to Melbourne and decided to take the opportunity to visit the Southbank area, just south of the Melbourne city centre, and a short walk across the Yarra River, lies the arts and entertainment precinct that is Southbank. There you can enjoy all the Arts Centers, strolling riverside through the Southbank promenades, shopping, enjoying the attractions, and of course dining in a variety of cafes and restaurants.

Take two or three days to visit all the wonderful Wine Regions. The immediate proximity of five incredibly diverse wine regions gives you an array of options. They are: Yarra Valley Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, Sunbury, and Macedon Ranges. You will also find beautiful hotels, wonderful scenes and amazing places to eat out there.
If you ever want to find a destination where the food is a big party of its best attraction, try Melbourne.
