thanks guys!!!...you're a great help...i don't really know my way around Melb, haven't been there since i was little (except for a quick drive-by at Xmas)
blind_elk.... 1-2 kms, excellent, that's easy done, have stayed that distance from the Indy track a few times and was an easy walk..
TSTG33R...thanx for the restaurant advice, will look at Toorak Rd too. French place sounds good! don't think i've ever been to French restaurant actually...i usually go Italian...mmmm love Italian
Jamezilla..thanks for the offer! i think the apartments I'm in are a bit dodgy, but seems like a nice area, so i don't really care cos they were CHEAP and I only just booked (2 weeks b4 the event LOL) so there's not much choice hehe
torque! sif I'd talk to someone with a prancing horse tattoo!...hahaha just jokes..
p.s. if anyone is available 8.30pm next Thursday, we'll give u petrol money to take us from the airport to Sth Yarra!
