Tourist Trap #1: The Rialto


So, did you miss me? I'm still here. Just been away from my computer, trapping some lovely Irish tourists in the best that Melbourne has to offer. It has been a smashing long, long weekend, filled with lashings of ginger beer. Actually, there wasn't all that much ginger in the beer, it was just lashings of beer.

The best thing about showing visitors around your city is that you get to see things you've never bothered to look at yourself.

First stop was The Rialto, ex-tallest building in Melbourne, which affords stunning views of the Eureka Tower, the now tallest building in Melbourne, along with lots of other Melbourney views.

Mmmm, views...




For dessert we saw some more views from above, which someone had left scattered along the banks of the Yarra.

Home, food, St Jerome's, Cookie (don't go there, they're rascist), The Lounge, food, home, bed, wake up, food, Phillip Island...

Mate, if you want some great shots of Eureka, check this out. Some of the pics of the gold in twilight are very horny, if you're into big erections! ;-)
