Coming To Melbourne

[Col-GTSX]

Hey Guys

Coming down to Melbourne for work tomorrow for 4 days and have this Friday off to do with as I please.

Did a bit of a search round the internet to find what one could do in Melbourne for cheap and found very little.

Im staying at the Crown Casino and dont really want to spend all my time spending money at the tables

What can one see in Melbourne this Friday???

Or is there a bit of a cruise sceen on a Thursday night or Friday night???

Does SAU VIC do weekly dinners like QLD???

Thanks Col

You also got friday night drags at calder park, bit more local.

Wont be many skylines there but still can be a good night. Depends on weather too

it will be the best 4 days of your life!!!! if your into bars and clubs, you've only got to head into to the city and ya should have a sweet time. the Cas, is a good location to be at so would will find heaps of stuff to do. you can even ask the front desk at the hotel whats on that particular night, and they have a system that tells you. was really helpful when i stayed in town a few weeks ago.

enjoy ya stay

Do you have a car and is your Saturday free too? If Saturday is free, come up to DECA and even better if you stay up the night and hit the town.

Not sure what you are into but:

If you have a car, there are lots of nice wineries in the Yarra Valley plus some great drives towards Marysville/Kinglake.

The CBD has loads to see just from walking around and lots of small alleys with cafes/coffee shops. Grab a map from the hotel if you don't have your bearings already but from Crown, you can walk over the Yarra on the bridge that is in Ghost Rider which drops you on Flinders St. That is the CBD there so it is very close.

No, im traveling via Cabs everywhere or on foot, as im staying at Crown Towers its close to everything I need.

Im working Saturday for the tech expo at the convention centre next to Crown. Then I fly out in the afternoon.

Sounds great, Ive been going to the casino for drinks heaps, we had a massive night Wednesday night didnt get back to the hotel until 4am. But I did check out the Peppermint or Spearmint Rinho what ever its called, That was fun...

Tonight I think will be a quiet few drinks, I also checked out the Belgium Beer Cafe that was awsome...
