Guest Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Brisbane. 2 days cricket Melbourne Driver on great ocean road to Adalaide. 2days cricket. Sydney. Any tips re any of these venues, please? Some quick memories Jazzy Cat Cafe, Brisbane Christmas lunch at Campari House, Melbourne (all inclusive price) Melbourne; take a cardy Adelaide; pretty dull, but it will be great with a few thosand England fans. We went to McLaren Vale for wine but the Barossa next time. Sydney is a fab city. The Rocks is the obvious place to hang out. The Glenmore must have one of the best locations around and pizza at The Australian. Some great restaurants. Whilst the pound has plumetted against currencies, we have been there at $1.50 and it was doable. I'll recall other things, but it is the best country we have visited. Again, apart from in the grounds, the locals love us. And the Queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites man Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Gonzo will be along shortly BD to explain to the rest of us what a crocodile sandwich is in those Blackpool bars with a largely exclusively male clientele he frequents.

Members bolty58 Posted February 8, 2017 Members Share Posted February 8, 2017 Amazing how people holidaying/touring have a completely different view than those of us who live here. My take:- Sydney - shit once you get way from the spectacular harbour. Melbourne - best city in Australia for night life, entertainment and sport. Adelaide - sleepy hollow but a fine place for beaches (Henley, Semaphore, Glenelg and Victor Harbour). Great place for seafood - especially King George Whiting.

A days racing at Flemington if it's on. You won't have any problem finding loads of things to do in the city centre. Entertainment capital of Australia.
