    Default Melbourne - things to do etc

    I'm in Melbourne for work and holiday next week so looking for suggestions for good things to do / see, good places to eat / drink ETC.

    What things interests you and things you would rather avoid? That way local board members can provide a more tailored suggestion.

    Will you be around on the weekend? Maybe some local members could do a lunch time meet?

    Ooo... what was that toy store that had the discount sale while I was there for Toyfair in March. That's something I'd recommend for any toy collector to check out.

    Never mind, I found it. It's called Lobos, at 503 High St, Northcote VIC 3070.

    Plenty to see in the city and depending on how far out you want to travel.

    If you're public transporting it, get your head around the myki ticketing system - being an out of towner isn't an excuse the ticket inspectors take and you don't want a $75 on the spot fine.

    Crown Casino area and Southbank good for restaurants and cinema, and the Chinatown area is pretty good too for eating. The food truck scene is growing but you need to chase them down.

    Do not bother with the Melbourne Star observation wheel. Just don't. Eureka skydeck is a better option if you want a view.

    If you're a sports fan, the MCG tour is worth doing. Maybe check out the Queen Vic market.

    And a fan meet on the weekend could work. What dates are you in town?
