was just meh.....Port Douglas on the other hand, was a very nice place to hang out in. Beautiful, long beaches and fun bars/restaurants. Awesome swimming holes in Daintree rainforest too! The one thing we didn't do in Melbourne was get out of the city to see the beach or go out to the Great Highway, or whatever that's called. Sydney's pretty easy to find something fun to do regardless of where you go. Beaches everywhere! I actually really liked their zoo.
