    Hi @peach17 yes nasa City lahat yung nabanggit ko... Actually within the same area lang sila, walking-distance lang lahat if you start from Flinders Station or Federation Square... Yung St. Kilda lang ang medyo malayo-layo and you have to take a tram..

    BTW where are you currently living or staying?

    hi @peach17, nag-visit ako recently lang sa melby pero nasa offshore ako ngayon.

    yung tram na papuntang St. Kilda may bayad na sya kasi medyo malayo-layo na yun.. pero yung "City Circle" tram, where yung mga nabanggit ko above are located... libre lang sya..

    Kung hindi ka naman masyado mahilig sa beach, or gustong-gusto makapag-beach, and makapag-rides (Luna Park) I think okay lang na hindi mo na puntahan yung St. Kilda... Honestly, hindi naman ako na-impress hehe :)

    Parang enchanted kingdom ba ung luna park. Parang kapag nakikita ko yung smiling clown sa internet reminds me of horror movies hahaha. How do compare melbourne and sydney pala? Mas maraming pasyalan sa sydney?

    Di nmin na try ung city trams kasi may baby kami at stroller at madami din tao kapag rush hour and minsan umuulan. Plus di ko alam route at kung free ba. One time sobrang lamig ng umaga, then before lunch uminit nagtanggal ng winter jacket mga tao, tapos hapon hanggang gabi lakas ng ulan.

    Ok din tlaga sa may federation square, sarap magpahinga, malapit lang dun ung hosier lane and st paul church. Pwede din pumunta sa melbourne visitor center may mga maps dun at brochures

    @vhoytoy Yung Luna Park, para syang maliit na amusement park na Old School feel (kasi more than 80 years na rin sila) kagaya nung napapanood natin sa movies nung 1980s, napuntahan ko both yung sa Sydney and Melbourne, magkamukha lang.. although yung sa Sydney may magandang view ng Sydney Harbour..

    Naku huwag lang magagalit sakin ang mga taga Melbourne pero mas nagandahan lang ako sa variety ng pasyalan sa Sydney… May Harbour, daming Beaches, Parks and Gardens, sarap mag-travel on a ferry… parang di ata ko magsasawa kung everyday dadaanan ko yung Harbour Bridge sa harapan ko, then tumalikod lang, Sydney Opera House naman..

    Pero basta kung saan ako makahanap ng trabaho doon ako :)
    hi @peach17, nag-visit ako recently lang sa melby pero nasa offshore ako ngayon.

    yung tram na papuntang St. Kilda may bayad na sya kasi medyo malayo-layo na yun.. pero yung "City Circle" tram, where yung mga nabanggit ko above are located... libre lang sya..

    Ok din tlaga sa may federation square, sarap magpahinga, malapit lang dun ung hosier lane and st paul church. Pwede din pumunta sa melbourne visitor center may mga maps dun at brochures

    bawasan mo na muna ung savings account mo hahaha. Ako din gusto2 ko na pumunta after nung entry namin last July 2014, pero one thing na natutunan ko eh, sobrang gastos jan kapag walang work. Parang mahina ang 100k pesos a month lalo kapag may kasama family. Kaya ipon2 pa din tlaga. Pero Melbourne or Sydney lang din tlaga ako
