Talk:Melbourne
ContentsWalking tourSo, I'm really pretty unhappy with this walking tour stuff. Can we please break it down to the attraction listings format? It might be useful to do an itinerary like An afternoon in Melbourne on foot, or A walking tour of Melbourne's Central Business District, but I don't think this belongs in the main article. --Evan 10:00, 26 Dec 2003 (PST)
If anyone wants to make this itinerary, the place to find the original is User:Nurg's revision of 08:49, 26 Dec 2003. -- Hypatia 05:50, 3 Nov 2004 (EST) Rail/public transport linkI have deleted "catch public transport" because a. the link isn't working and b. VicTrip seems to be the main public transport site. 202.154.157.115 21:10, 10 Jan 2004 (EST) Nepean HighwayI thought the Nepean Hwy went from Melbourne to Mornington Peninsula rather than Sydney. Isn't Princes Hwy the coastal hwy to Sydney? That travel guide linkHmmm.. I went to that site, and it doesn't look all that bad. I know that I'd rather have its author contributing the actual info to Wikitravel, but what if I go to a bar because the link is on Wikitravel, and then make a writeup about the bar. On the Geneva page we've left a well meaning but very poorly designed page in the links for some time just in case there's something useful in there (also cause I wanted the guy to think about contributing.) -- Mark 17:00, 17 Mar 2004 (EST)
Huge cityI've listed Melbourne as needing attention because it looks like it's ready to be split into districts. There's already a bunch of sections that are beginning to get district headings: See and Sleep have sort of unofficially been split into districts by their headings. However, I don't know Melbourne well enough to do a split which is: sensible, not too fine-grained (say, 4-8 districts, rather than 30); and comprehensive. -- Hypatia 22:45, 28 Nov 2004 (EST) My TravelsHi folks, I'd like to offer words and pictures from a few days' travels around Melbourne to Wikitravel. If there's anything good in there (or in anything else I've put on my site) that fills a hole in Wikitravel, grab it, or give me a shout and I'll rustle something up.

The clothes here are overpriced." Whilst I concede that this particular quote is both hilariously worded and absolutely true, I don't think it is appropriate for this page.
