After seeing how the OZ gov treated its own people throughout Covid, I’m no longer in any big hurry to make the long haul down under.

This review influenced me not to waste my time on a trip to Melbourne.

But this may be more of a reflection on the writer. Calling people “dumb” and “idiots” poisons an article and suggests the author is narcisstic and arrogant. Therapy is indicated.

I look for beauty, adventure, and variety. This article highlights coffee, shopping, and dining, which are available in most cities and are not sufficient motivations to choose Melbourne over any other place on Earth.

Australia is paradise and is a great Nation, with ScoMo having done an awesome job protecting the economy, jobs and the spread of COVID.

I can’t imagine returning to Australia anytime soon. To spend a lot of time and money to fly all the way there and the slightest uptick could have the government expelling foreigners — at best — or arbitrarily locking them in a quarantine camp — at worst. I used to love Australia and all things Australian, but now think of it as an illiberal and unfree country. I hope my fears remain unfounded, but the past year suggests maybe not and the way people capitulated and largely defended government actions was completely shocking to me and has left me thinking that we share fewer common values than I had previously presumed.

It is worth noting (as a Melburnian) that above ground trams are free to travel on without needing a Myki card within the CBD. But you’re right – walking is a good friend…

and at the moment (as of last night) BA have released hundreds of business/first award seats from LON to SYD… pretty good excuse to burn 2for1

Just got back from Melbourne on Tuesday am. Completely agree with your review. Loved Melbourne — so easy to get around in the City and from the airport. Would highly recommend two restaurants. Naked for Satan in Fitzroy (in particular the upstairs dining room) is exceptional for lunch and dinner. Can dine inside our outside. Food SOOO good. In St Kilda, we loved Miss Jackson for breakfast. Food was fantastic, but the service was slow.

For drinks and sunset, check out the Esplanade Hotel aka The Espy in St Kilda and then walk out on the pier to check out the penguins. Amazing to see penguins a 10 minute walk from shore.
