The Travelling Fairy DancerAutumn Magic in Melbourne
May 21st 2008 08:29
Amber leaves floating softly to the ground, brisk mornings and cosy indoor lunches all herald the start of the chilly season in Melbourne.
No other city hides its attributes quite so well, nor shines so much when they're revealed.
In the absence of a local with inside knowlege, it can be hard to find the inner city jewels that define Melbourne's eclectic culture.
The Melbourne tourism ads on television right now (with the huge ball of red string) portray an accurate example of Melbourne's glamorous, old world, yet cutting edge style.
When autumn touches Melbourne's vast, manicured gardens, it brings with it a mysterious air of quiet as if anticipating the freezing temperatures to come (whereby we all should be in hibernation).
Not so once you venture inside. Trendy establishments such as the Gin Palace (190 Little Collins St), restaurant Cookie (1st floor, 252 Swanston St) and nightclub St Jerome's (7 Caledonian Lane) pulsate with energy at all hours to provide relief from the frosty air.
Just make sure you ask a local how to get there.
