I visited the Prahan Market and The Essential Ingredient in August. They are good. There is also the little kitchen shop I frequent when in Melbourne. I think it is in Little Bourke St. The new Emporium is really good too.

Wonder the parham market and essential ingredient is on my go for list. Boy I think we would get ourselves into a lot of trouble in that place.
Oh yes, it is certainly a dangerous combination in there!  I haven't been to either the market or E.I. for years and would love the chance to spend time roaming around.  I believe there is also a biggish Japanese supermarket at the back of the market as well ... maybe we should book something in Prahran and just stay there for the weekend!

The kids' comic shop is a 5 minute walk from the Prahan markets, maybe we could pay them a surprise visit.

Marina, DH and I have decided to stay a night down in St Kilda in early December. We stay in the city every now and again but I thought St Kilda would be a bit different and the hotel is certainly a lot cheaper. I'm really looking forward to it as it's a Sunday night and we'll be down there all day on the Sunday after I do an early morning fun run, there's always lots to see and do in and around that area.

We could tram hop to a lot of places if anyone knows the transport system well.

... following on from Wonder's post, there is always St Kilda market and Acland Street on a Sunday ... Chapel Street, also in Prahran (Judy knows this area well!) ... oh, so much to do in Melbourne .. the more I think about it the more I realise this city has to offer ... The Emporium - I haven't been there yet .. H&M in the old GPO .... stop me before I walk out of work and go to investigate these places ;D

I don't know the transport system well, but DD and I just ask and use the trams. I can go from the CBD to most places I wish by tram.
In the city there is also the free City Circle tram too if you don't wish to walk.

It sounds like we are going to need a month instead of a weekend, lol.

Do you think we should borrow the TARDIS?

I am flexible with any dates in October but November no good for me.
