luna park nice? is it big?

its a very small amusement parkOriginally posted by charmmm:luna park nice? is it big?
none of those thrilling rides tt u get in disneyland n gold coast
but if it is open, try the scenic "rollercoaster" there
runs on a wooden track n it gives u a fantastic view of st kilda beach n its surroundings -
by the way, if u wanna go visit st kilda n luna park, might as well go on a sunday morning
there will be a sunday market along the stretch of st kilda n u might just be able to pick up some interesting n unique souveniors hme -

I've been to Melbourne when i'm much younger.
can't remember names ..
but Melbourne give me a homely kind of feel..
like all the shops close before evening feel..
everyone stays home with family kind...

philip island is nice....see penguins...I was told they have a race track there too...didnt see it thoughOriginally posted by ^spidee^: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?
Victoria market is...a market selling lots of different stuff....many kind of chocolates....belts...wallets....something like pasar malam lar
and crown casino...cant remember that one....is it the one with fire display at night by the river?
Chinatown...some good chinese food there...but have to know which one...depend on ur luck and judgement
Great Ocean Road....err...I dun really like to travel 4 hours to see 1 hour of sea water and then back 4 hours to Mel....nice view though and if U want helicopter ride...they have it....I think 50 to 80 AUD per trip per head...cant really remember the price...I suggest if U want to do te Great Ocean Rpad trip....find some place to go in between the ride so that U dun have to sit 4 hours non-stop...

errr...not exactlyOriginally posted by ^spidee^:yea, chapel street is in st. kilda..
chapel street to st kilda is abt a 15mins drive -
The Great Ocean Road and Fish and Chips at Apollo Bay is a must. Try to get ur friends to drive u there, tours really expensive and you dun really get to see much. On the whole, people are generally very friendly and open to diveristy, Victorias' like the California of Australia , very liberal state. Melbourne City's pretty accessible all round by tramp - tats if they do not break down, with the city streets set in the typical englsih colonial farcade, shouldn't be a problem getting round. Oh ya, mentioning tramps, take the red tramp, it's free and you can get to pretty much any pt in the city with it.
If you like cathedrals, theres the St Patricks Cathedral in East Melb, and the St Paul's cathedral opposite Federation Square. If you want some fun by the sea and the sand, theres always St Kildas beach, hmm..is that Melbourne or Sydney. Anyhow, I haven't been there before, so I do not exactly how to get there, but friends have told me it's one hell of a place to check out.
For food, Melbourne's a cosmopolitan city with a diverse population. So basically, you can get food from anywhere in the world. Theres Lebanese cuisine, dun forget to check out Chinatown, theres this restaurant that serves the best lobster noodles, though it's a little on the steep side, but it is absolutely delicious. -
Lebanese food along Lygon Street.dame your going there in April, if your there this wkend, its F1 madness with all the italian resturants flaggedo out in ROssa and screaming Schumacher !!Originally posted by Quincey:The Great Ocean Road and Fish and Chips at Apollo Bay is a must.

If u like taking pictures, from Crown Casion, you can take a very senic view of the Yarra River and also the old victorian train station Flinders
