Hello All,
One of these days I will visit beautiful Australia, and I plan on making it to Melbourne! So, I'm just seeing what kind of attractions there are at the mo.
I like to bicycle, birdwatch, and view animal wildlife in particular.
Cheers,
MisMixte

Yes, I would be especially interested in viewing all the parrots, even if some people do consider the gallahs to be pests! They are still lovely birds.
It's all in the perspective, you know <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
