...good call !...

...he will recognize me if he wants; I'm wearing a black 'NEWorder' t-shirt and a 'FLOYD' cap...

...but anyway, my journey starts in Vienna via Frankfurt and Singapur to Sydney...

If tickets weren't so expensive... and opposite to South America, it's still not cheap when you get there ;)

Hi Wayne !

...Melbourne is nice for sure; I was there in 2003 for a few hours going further to Christchurch then...

...I only have one month moving to Cairns, how long is it to go from ACT to Melbourne ?...

cheers,

The Saviour.

that depends if you want to drive or fly. it is about 600km. one hour by plan, and about 8-9 by car if you do a coouple of stops on the way.

5 Mar 2006, 02:07

...thanks Ron - fook me, the time I got becomes limited, nevertheless, it would be interesting going to Melbourne too...

cheers,

The Saviour.

5 Mar 2006, 02:23

that should have been 8 to 9 hours by car.

Yeah, but what wonderful stops they are though, Ron - The Ned Kelly Light and Sound spectacular at Glenrowan, the mighty Murray at Albury-Wodonga...the truck stops near Yass....

Maybe next time, Saviour - Cairns will pretty much do you nicely I'd say. Except for the Queenslanders, of course.. CTB :bear:

I just arrived back from Melbourne a few days ago and I have to say that it's an awesome city--Sydney is all flashy and "look at me!" (at least from a tourist point-of-view) but Melbourne felt very comfortable and it was so easy to just spend the hours in coffee bars or eating fabulous food. I loved all the close-in neighborhoods--Fitzroy, Collingwood, Richmond, St. Kilda--and getting around on the trams is a snap. And I would recommend seeing a footy match! We were able to catch the St. Kilda-Collingwood pre-season cup match at the Telstra Dome, and it was a real treat.

Thanks to everyone here who gave me suggestions for my trip. I'm sorry it's over :(

Glad you enjoyed it, Nancyo - pity you saw my team get beaten by one point, tho! CTB :bear:
