Melbourne (CBD)

"Visit to melbourne"

A visit to our daughter who emigrated two years ago brought us to aus. kate lives in point cook a suburb of victoria. she told us of the great city" melbourne" and we arranged a day trip to see "it".
taking a graffiti laden ,dirty train from laverton we set off for melbourne city. arriving at flinders street station we glady departed the train and made our way to see the "city". well i have to say from what i saw you can keep it. its a congested,polluted, concrete sprawl. modelled as a poor copy of an american city it has little to offer. not even worth to my mind wasting your sd card on. the people all look grumpy and stressed at the pace of the place. shops are typical city crap. over dressed and over priced. the best shop to my mind was "pie face" they do one of the nicest warm savoury pastries and cup of tea i have had in a long time. i have to say for me its not somewhere i would want to visit twice. so waht has melbourne got to offer? concrete,traffic,pollution,suicide bridge. not much else. in fact to sum up. " A DUMP"

I thinks it's pretty clear you have missed the point of Melbourne. To say that your favourite shop is 'Pie Face' is...well, it just says it all. BUT of course you are welcome to your opinion, so thanks for sharing.

Oh, his or her name should have been 'bitter' not 'bitty'! My guess is bitty is a grumpy old POM (Prisoner from Mother England) well versed in understanding congested, polluted concrete sprawl since England has been like it for a couple of hundred years.

Who eats savoury pies and cups of tea.. not wonder they have no 'cred'!

The first time my hubby and I visited Melbourne we did a lot of walking ( we were with friends who thought they knew where they were going) around in circles. We went back a year later and made a point of strolling through the lanes, stopping for a bite to eat on the side walk and basically embracing the creative and historic ambience of this beautiful city. Every time we return now, we discover more hidden gems and now our daughters are moving there to study. If all you see is concrete and graffitti then perhaps return next time with an open mind.

Bitty, where do you hail from? Going by your grammar, I disagree with OnlyMelbourne he/she is from dear old England. And to recommend it ONLY for gays, says a lot about you as a person. Now, lets look and this grand old city in my comment above (when complete).
