[Gerds]

Hi guys, I am visiting Melb for a weekend away and would like to know what kewl things I can do there. I will be staying at the Saville on Russell in the city and would like to know where the best shops, clubs and places of interest to go.

Thanks

How old are you (for the clubs that is)

me and a few boys here are regularly out weekends in the city

and what sort of shop... clothes... ?

[Gerds]

yeah clothes shops, galleries. Im 25 and anything modern or jazzy would be nice.

Says in your profile you are 27...

Anyhoo - Bourke St Mall has usual clothes-brand shops.

Bridge Rd in Richmond has factory outlets and such - jump on a 75 tram at the corner of Russell and Flinders. Fashion labels - catch an 8 tram from Swanston St to corner Toorak Rd and Chapel St in Sth Yarra (lots of bars/clubs there too).

Cross the river on Swanston to get to Southgate - bars, restaurants and some shops, and walk to Crown Casino for bars, restaurants, shops and gambling.

What weekend are you down? We are having SAU drinks in Sth Yarra next Sunday (25th) - you'd be more than welcome to come along.

Very informative stuff James. I probably have to print this out or check this thread when im in Melb. Im coming down on the Friday morning 6th of Feb and leaving on the Sunday morning 8th Feb. Very excited and it will be good to get away from Sydney. I just noticed my profile. That is incorrect. haha.

Visited a website re: visitvictoria and found plenty of things to do. Im planning to try and do as much of these as i can:

Collins St Shopping

Swanston St Shopping

Eat at Langton's for lunch

Southbank for nightlife (do they have shops open at night?)

Visit crown

Queen Vic Market - should I go here?

Chadstone shopping

Ezard at Adelphi's dinner

What do you think?

[Jamezilla]

I have no idea what/where Langtons is...

The rest looks pretty darn good. You'll have a nice time

The Adelphi is cool - the pool extends 1m over the edge of Flinders lane... 10 stories up! Has a glass bottom too.

Remember to give us all a hoy when you're here - perhaps we can hook up for drinks and such?
