My Travels Neil Walker - View All

Melbourne is a very nice sophisticated city. It has much to offer with fine shops and restaurants.

For me. A visit to the Melbourne National Gallery is a must, see its fine exhibitions or Fitzroy Gardens with Captain Cooks Cottage.

Melbourne is an interesting city and fun to get around with the trams. It also has many sporting events from Tennis to the Australian Grand Prix.

Check out the free bus and tram above ... makes it easy.
