Living the City Life in Melbourne

Image
On our trip two years ago we stayed in Melbourne for 5 days, which with working along with exploring it just wasn't enough. I knew there was more to Melbourne than what we had managed to see, and I'm so glad we chose to return this time around for over a month. Melbourne is so different from the rest of what we've seen of Australia. I've read that it is more European, but as I haven't been there it's hard for me to compare. There's definitely more of a melting pot of cultures in Melbourne, I think over 60% of Melbournians are from other countries. And don't get me started, I'm not getting into the whole Sydney versus Melbourne debate... it's annoying that is even a thing as both cities are truly amazing depending on your personality. Though I am now forever a Sydney girl at heart :) The famous trams

Heading south from Sydney an easy 2.5 hour coastal drive will take you to the gorgeous region of Jervis Bay. It was a surprisingly welcome break from the city and we fell right into the more relaxed pace of life in Vincentia where we stayed. This would definitely be a regular weekend spot if we were locals in Sydney 😉 On this road trip we spent three nights in Jervis Bay and one night in Australia's Capital Territory of Canberra for the sole purpose of seeing some wombats! More on that later in the post. Hyams Beach in Jervis Bay
