Melbourne City Lifestyle – Victoria Australia
Melbourne, the capital of the state of Victoria, is set around the shores of Victoria’s Port Phillip Bay and boasts a lively and cosmopolitan pulse, with chic boutiques, buzzing cafes and bars, immaculate gardens and festivals and popular sporting events. The city sits on the Yarra River, about five kilometres from the bay. One glance at a map and it’s obvious Melbourne is a planned city: a tidy, balanced grid of neatly angled streets. But beneath this sense of restraint lies a restless creative energy. Discover the work of talented local artists, architects and designers in stylish fashion boutiques, buzzing laneway cafes, hidden galleries and trendy bars. Melbourne is a city of style and sophistication, with an inviting cosmopolitan atmosphere. It is a melting pot of cultures reflected in its microcosm of restaurants, cafes, bistros and bars. Melbourne’s dining offers a dizzying spread of great cuisines, serving meals from the substantial and classic to the truly exotic. From locally designed originals to the best of international fashion brands you’ll be spoilt for choice in Melbourne’s shopping precincts. Explore the inner city shopping centres and the city’s myriad of arcades and laneways. The CBD is made up of many precincts – enclaves with their own distinct flavour and charm. Some are just a lane or two, while others cover a suburb or a busy CBD street. Spend time experiencing the richness of Melbourne’s different cultures from the Greek Quarter around Lonsdale …

Unless you happen to be Indian of course. Then it sucks.
When did the south start becoming the “deep south”?
if you are a newcomer to Melbourne, aka Crimeland, here are some words of advice from the Victoria police commissioner and I quote “look as poor as you can…Don’t display your iPods, don’t display your valuable watch, don’t display your valuable jewellery. Try to look as poor as you can to avoid being assaulted…” So if you are assaulted in Melbourne, and there’s a pretty good chance you will be, it’s really your fault for not looking poor.

Trash people are trash with or without the alcohol, goto a pub or club early and observe who becomes a nuisance who wasn’t already. I work in bars, and its also the venues fault as much. We don’t cut people off till they’re way over intoxicated.
i hear that … its all the over 55s sitting at home saying ban this ban that they have no idea at all wat goes on in the cbd
Talk about banning alcohol is fucking retarded if you cant handle your piss dont fucking drink it… But if you want to take the glass from my hand you’ll have a fight on your hands.. political correct fuckheads are ruining this world
yes, but drinking isn’t a health risk. Smoking is.
That’s why smoking is banned. Drinking is only a health risk in some people because they are too stupid to know when to stop.
it dont matter how long drinking has been going on……ban it along with smoking. thats when everyone will see the diffrence,
Smoking isn’t part of our culture. Drinking is.
Alcohol has been around for thousands of years, our ancestors drank alcohol, King Henry the bloody 8th drank alcohol, even Julius Caeser drank alcohol. The minute we ban alcohol is the also minute we give in to political correctness.
Smoking has only come recently during the past decades and it poses an immediate health risk. That’s why they banned smoking in some public areas and they put the grotesque pictures on the pack to discourage people.
people feel the same way about smoking though….go out have a nice drink/meal and a smoke, but if they ban it…its gone….nobody needs to drink alcahol or smoke……but at same time i can understand people like you who drink and enjoy it and dont go hurting other people because they are drunk,
there is no-way they would ban alcahol or cigs anyway…as it brings in to much money for the country,
I understand that maybe someone you know may have died as a result of alcohol, but banning alcohol is the wrong decision.
Maybe stricter laws for purchasing alcohol by someone who has a history of these things? At least something, but not banning it all together even for responsible drinkers.
Tell me what am I supposed to drink when I go out to dinner at a nice restaurant? It is a social drink and it is part of western culture to have alcohol for social reasons.
I don’t so much object to the fact that I would be without alcohol if they banned it, but the notion that you feel that the government has the right to take away your civil liberties.
If you want to drink alcohol responsibly, then that should be legal, if you want to drink alcohol and get smashed, then that should be legal as well. It is your right as a citizen and an adult to make these decisions for yourself.
well nobody cares what a twat like you thinks.
Do you honestly feel the need to ban alcohol? That is a basic right as an adult to make the decision to drink alcohol if you want to.
I know what alcohol does to you. but don’t stop other people from drinking responsibly just because some people can’t handle it.
Alcohol has been around for thousands of years and what right have you got to say to me that I can’t drink it all of a sudden?
