I wish I knew this when I was in Melbourne a few months back! I saw you also shared a list for these places. Automatic follow! This will come in handy next time I’m back in Melbourne!
Hi @EwanArnolda thank you for sharing this great city tour. I’ve already followed your list. It will be a super useful guide when I go to Melbourne someday.
For a traveler, does the public transportation in Melbourne is convenient and coul reach a lot of places there? Or do we need to rent a car?
Thanks for showing us Melbourne! I’d love to visit Australia some day soon. It seems really beautiful. Are you from Melbourne? I absolutely love the first photo with the long exposure effect. How did you make it? What is your favorite place in Melbourne?
