Trams rattle along the shopping thoroughfares with their elegant Victorian facades and inviting outdoor cafes and out into the leafymore

When I think of Melbourne I think of the word.........Awesome. Well, I only lost $5 from gambling at the casino and the parents came away from Melbourne unscathed from huge losses .... along without any big wins. Better than in the negative I guess. Here's a rundown on what we did: 24th Sunday: Yum char. Queen Vic markets. Tram ride. Casino buffet and casino bars vip room and the PUB (Bar) at the Casino.
25th Monday: Anzac Day march thru Federation Square. Richmond Vietnamese lunch. Chapel St shopping . Mercury Lounge .
26th: Hard Rock Cafe. Japanese lunch then the New qv centre (Great shopping) . Docklands. Federation sq. Moving light art exhibition.
Overall it was a Magnificent Weekend. A picture of Federation Square is enclosed.

Although Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, I preferred the atmosphere in Melbourne - less business orientated and black-suited, more friendly, less cosmopolitan, more Australian, and more cultural. It has a nice mix of the old and the new - old trams and modern glass skyscrapers give it a fascinating character. It also has better access to its surrounds - brilliant wine farms, mountains for skiing and hiking, and a much less touristed and more beautiful coastline close by.
