Last week was the mid-semester break, and for once, I used it as an actual break, and went somewhere (rather than doing assignments, which I was supposed to). It has already been years since I was last in Melbourne, and I had been thinking of going down at the end of the year. So when a friend pestered me about going down during the mid-semester break, it was quite easy to persuade me to move my plans forward. So down to Melbourne I went, flying there on the 5th and returning on the 8th. The weather was wet half the time, but fortunately, there was enough dry hours for me to get loads of photos. Most of my time was spent walking around the CBD, with one day spent zooming through the Great Ocean Road on a day trip.
Flinders St Station, next to Federation Square, was pretty much the centre of Melbourne~
I brought my tripod down to Melbourne, and I'm happy to say that that paid off, with the night cityscapes being some of my best shots (In my opinion) from the trip.
The Great Ocean Road was beautiful too, though the weather wasn't at it's best for part of the day. It was also rather rushed, being a day trip after all. Next time, I'm going to spend a few days just at the GOR, to take more time to enjoy the views.
More photos coming soon, to both Facebook and Flickr! (When I have the time to finishing editing them all)

P.S. Yes, I want to go to Melbourne again : )
