Milbun is great!

Some Europeans think that the city is called Melbourne, but true Ozzies know it's Milbun. Just pronounce Melbouuurrne once and they know where you're not from!

Anyway, so back from Perth, we head for our, by now familiar, campsite in Healesville, where the good old faithfull teardrop awaits us. After the nightflight we need a morning nap, and next day we're ready for Milbun. A supadoopa luxury campside at half an hour from the city centre by bus. CBD still has everything we liked the first time around (in 2001) already. Old buildings and churches next to new skyscrapers, shops, pubs and offices all mixed up which makes it a really special city. St Kilda, a suburb on the coast, is still a very good spot for a Sunday afternoon drink and the shopping centre seems never ending. Summarized: we do like Milbun!

An hour east of CBD (Healesville), you'll find beautifull hills whilst the city itself is on the coast. Nice combi. Even further East you can go skiing, it seems.
Furthermore, Melbourne (mainly East side) is the centre of the automotive industry.
Our discission is made: we're gonna settle down here.
