Woke up at 4am due to needing the loo and ended up staying awake for pretty much the rest of the night being cranky about there being so many things I want to do and feeling like I just don’t have the time. Mostly because I’m going into the city for my birthday next weekend and want to do EVERYTHING – places I’ve been, but also try new places.

Anyone got any fav Can’t Miss This sort of city recs? I’m pretty set on going for at least a drink at Pearl Diver, hopefully Rooftop Bar, maybe some ramen at Snow Monkey, a bakery snack, a walk in gardens, urg, see, there’s too much!

Ghost Tour at the Old Melbourne Gaol. Cheesy yes but such fun. Goes for about an hour so leaves plenty of time for other things like eating & drinking.

OH I love this idea! Thank you!

I second this! Took my kid when he was younger and it was fantastic - they talked about the history, so informative as well
