But Docklands is not just about wining and dining, though it offers this in abundance. There is actually plenty of entertainment for all ages. The open air piazza has enormous screens which show live events like the Olympics or other large sporting events. During the summer, there's free outdoor movies on the big screen, just bring your own blanket! There's also an ice skating rink, boat cruises and plenty of parkland and open space for casual meandering. In November 2008, the biggest star of all, the Southern Star Wheel opens to the public. Standing 120 metres above the footpath, the Southern Star Wheel is a stunning addition to the Melbourne skyline that will boast some of the most spectacular views over the city, Port Phillip Bay and beyond.

From high above, it is readily apparent what a large city Melbourne is. But with your Docklands home away from home, you'l find yourself right in the centre of all the essential Melbourne action. Just a short drop punt away is Telstra Dome, home of AFL at this end of the city (as opposed to the MCG which is at the eastern end). Accesing the city with it's enticing shopping is easy via the pedestrian bridge that passes through Southern Cross Station. Plus for those who like the more leisurely pace of a Melbourne tram, there are regular services running from Docklands to just about anywhere. Which makes it even easier to return to 'home' after an exhausting day of Melbourne sights.

When to Go Melbourne has an undeservedly harsh reputation for bad weather. But the secret to coping with those artic winds that sometimes blow in off Bass Strait is to dress accordingly, and nobody dresses better than Melburnians. Take the opportunity to visit during winter and stock up on the latest fashions. But the best time to visit is in Autumn when the trees turn to unashamedly tones of scarlet and orange as they fall to the streets.
Getting Around Trams are the best way to get around Melbourne. They're cheap, reliable and they run all day every day, as they weave 'web-like' across the city and suburbs.
We Adore Melbourne cafe culture - almost every corner has a cafe with resident barista proud of his profession. City laneways are a particular delight. Our favourite is Degraves, just off Flinders Lane.
We Abhor Docklands is still a work in progress (at the time of writing - Sep 08) so construction noise can be a little off-putting.
