it's been so long, I know! I am returned from Australia and back at school in New York again. The end of my Australia experience was an absolute whirlwind...I spent the entire last month of my stay there traveling from one cool place to the next, with hardly any time inbetween. But I want to at least tell you a little about some of the amazing places I visited before I left Ausralia, and of course show you some photos...
My Great Ocean Road Trip ended in Melbourne ["Melben"]. Sean and I stayed here for an extra two nights to get a chance to check out this amazing city. And man, were we glad that we did!
Most of the people we had met from our tour group were planning on staying in Melbourne for a while, so Sean and I spent our days with them checking out the city. 
Melbourne is amazing! I will admit that I am prejudiced in judging any Australian city against Sydney - Sydney is just so beautiful and I have truly fallen in love with the 'Harbour City'! Yet if I had to choose any other Australian city to live in, it would be Melbourne.
It is such a cultural city: Its history is visible in all of its beautiful buildings. Its arts are displayed in various gorgeous museums.
Indeed, Melbourne is known as the cultural hotspot of 
Australia. It is the trendy city, ahead of most of Australia in fashion, dining, music and performing arts. 
And Sean and I, along with our new friends, took in all of this walking around and riding the historic Melbourne Tram Circuit (free!!!) which offered audio commentary on all signficant sites it passed.
Another great trip!!
