Anyone visited melbourne b4? anything is must see there? will be going for there 4 holiday this april.. duno whats the season by then.

^spidee^ SG

April is autumn, around 16-20 degrees in the day, and below 15 degs at night. The weather is very unpredictable, so be prepared.

Must see: Great ocean road, Philip island, Queen Victoria market, Crown casino, Chinatown..

Where and how long are you staying?

charmmm SG

m going to stay at my friend's place at glen waverly..
plan to go shopping at chapel street. but not sure what season of clothes they wll be selling by then..

charmmm SG

by the way where else is good to shop.. dun wan those high end type.. prefer stylish &mid price range. style like top shop this kind.. or flea market kind.. dun wan those fake branded..

and also where is the place where it is along a beach with lots of colorful bathing box( mini house). grampians looks cool

Oh I stay near glen waverly, it's close to my uni. Probably autumn clothes.. you can try Chadstone shopping centre too, it's close to your friend's place.. There's also a Direct Factory Outlet at Cheltenham, about 20 mins drive from glen, and a whole stretch of factory outlets in the city.

charmmm SG

the factory outlets clothing nice anot? or like pasar malam type.. hehe

^spidee^ SG

then Chadstone is probably not a good idea.. the city has lots of little shops in the alleys that offer cheaper clothes, and the factory outlets (take tram 86 from Bourke Street towards the Parliament house's direction)..

I think it's at St. Kilda beach.. not too sure..

charmmm SG

which uni are u at? really appreicate yr help !

^spidee^ SG

eh, there are sports brands like Nike, Adidas, Converse, and also some pretty well known ladies apparel chains..

charmmm SG

icic. thanks! by the way the morning peninsula anything nice there? and also the puffing billy

^spidee^ SG

monash uni.. no problem! Mr. Green glen waverly itself also has a shopping mall, and the food there is very nice too. If you are into Italian, try La Pochetta. There's also a Malaysian restaurant called The Grand Tofu, and Bob's Kitchen serve really nice dumplings.

Smith Street Laughing

Not to mention the Crumpler shop there that have the equipment to sew on the design u want on your own crumpler bags.

U can try Hawthorn Street, they have a Crumpler factory store there.

Hmm ..La Pochetta alright only. I think i prefer Sophia's, its along FernTreeGully Highway or Freeway.

If your staying within Glen Waverly Town,u can try going to the back of Village Cinema and try out Rocky's Roast Duck, that was my supper venue during my studies there.*sigh* miss those days

There isn't much along Mornington Peninsula except the beaches, but its towards autumn and i don't think the weather will be suitable to hit the beaches, not to mention the huge amts of needles left by drug addicts along the whole Port Phillip Bay.

You might want to drive down to Sorrento and view the waves and thats the southern or northern ( can't recall sorry) point of Port Phillip Bay

^spidee^ SG

oh yes, I heard of sophia's but haven't been there yet!

behind village? near the hotel?
