Melbourne
From Sydney travel to Melbourne, a city that many describe as one of the most interesting in the world. Its diversity astounds even the most seasoned travelled, a picture says a thousand words, so here are a few.
If you are looking for an amazing guide to this city, try this one and 'experience Melbourne like the locals'.
Tasmania
From Melbourne to Tasmania, 'the island on the edge of the world'. This little spot has recently had its name in the lights for the controversial new MONA, Museum of Old and New Art, which in itself is a great reason to take a trip there.

In and around the Hobart area you can visit Mt Wellington, where you can expect to find the most beautiful panoramic views of Hobart. Cruise the Derwent river, travel to the Huon Valley to walk through the tree tops at the Tahune Airwalk and spend a day on Bruny Island, exploring the native forests and meeting the locals. Whilst you are in the South, explore some of the many wonderful wineries, many locals suggest that you stay for the weekend; when the Salamanca Market is on, adding a very european village like feel to the community.

Whilst I have not had the pleasure of visiting Tasmania, friends live there and there are always talking about the wonderful wine bars (small bars) and restuarants in Launceston and Hobart. But if there was only one place that you could go on your Tassie adventure, I would suggest this spot - Cradle Mountain Lodge for a gorgeous, romantic and relaxing break. Whilst you are staying at Cradle Moutain Lodge, make sure that you try Stillwater, one of the finest restaurants in Tasmania and explore the area.
I can't wait to explore Tassie, for myself, if you have been there, let me know your thoughts and recommendations. Ashley and Aron, I would love to hear your feedback.. no pressure! ha ha ha

I just saw that the latest parts are up!! We are runni g off to Hudson's six month checkup and then I have a reading date with my iPad! So awesome, thanks again!!
I love the image of the streetcar, btw. So pretty! Aron went backpacking in Tasmania during his year abroad but has always said he wanted to go back. Our friends met and fell in love on their trip there and just named their baby boy "Taz"--so there's a lot to recommend it!
Thanks again for the thorough suggestions!!
