My Melbourne – the Australian Capital City that makes my heart soar every time I am heading back home for a long overdue rendevouz.
Such a beautiful tapestry of talent from Art to Music, beautiful gardens to the funkiest of cafes. Such style and elegance has her landscape of structures that one feels like they have been on a journey throughout time after spending only one day basking in her magnificent glory. Romantic, tucked away lanes which come to life bearing indulgences a plenty from gorgeous boutiques and bars. Eateries of all desires to satisfy and inspire enven the most seasoned of pallets. There is no other City so enchanting and graceful. That’s My Melbourne.

A town that is on the move. The city combines of the tradition and the new. Vivid south bank and the Flinders st landmark. The most livable city in the world!
Melbourne. You would never leave once you stay here for more than 24 hours!

My art experience in the city… Well as a group we walked into art. We went to graffitied alleyways like Union lane and Hoisier lane. Union lane is a lane way which is part of a street art project….
Melbourne is the coffee capital of Australia. In the CBD, the cobblestoned laneways are filled with the aroma of espresso coming from a myriad of cafés. Further afield, Richmond, St Kilda, Fitzroy, South Melbourne and Prahran also offer great café strips, with a more laid-back feel.
