    Visit the Melbourne Lanes

    Posted by molibrown 2 October 2011

    You could easily miss the lanes in Melbourne. Melbourne is a beautifully laid out city with a grid of wide streets.
    However, in between these, in the original service lanes, has developed a unique city culture - really what makes Melbourne special.
    This is where the coffee culture small local shops are located, from cup cakes to shoe maker, from barbers to fashion designers and artists.
    They are great to stroll through, have lunch, coffee, or find some unique artisan wares.

    The most attractive Melbourne lanes are located between Swanston and Elizabeth and Bourke and Flinders Street. You will find them on either side of Flinders Lane. Check www.we-love-melbourne.net/melbourne-lanes.html

    Rialto Tower Observation deck

    Posted by molibrown 24 November 2007

    There are two Melbourne observation decks, both giving you amazing views over the city and the bay.

    However, I prefer the Rialto. There is a coffee shop and place to sit and hang out for a while - it is quiet.

    The Eureka overwhelms you with an artificially created noisy Melbourne soundscape. This takes away from the viewing experience.
