A great meal
We had an excellent meal and lovely evening at Tutto BeneWe left Cairns on a shuttle bus with a very chatty driver who thought The Bill was based at Summer Hill Station and therefore thought our surname was really amusing!!!
Left Cairns with some amazing views of the reef, rainforest and hills. Next time I looked out there was just a wide open space - the outback!
Got a cheap bus into Melbourne and then struggled in the heat to try and find a hostel/hotel. Third try lucky and I would recommend
The Miami Hotel.
After a quick freshen-up, we tried to make our way into town. Suffice to say the markings on trams are not too clear and once we were back where we started (50 minutes later) we got into the city.
Following a recommendation (thank you Susan F.) we went to
The Rialto Tower where you could get an amazing 360 view of the city. Given we were there for one night only we were literally able to see the whole of the city!!!
We then walked through the city, through some Chinese New Year celebrations alongside the river and stumbled upon
Tutto Bene which was an amazing Italian restaurant.
A lovely time in Melbourne, if a
The Outback
From the ocean to this barren view - amazing! bit rushed as we were leaving the next day...
