into my Lowepro Mini Trekker AW for a flight tomorrow night to Melbourne for a 3 days adventure. I hope the weather is fine, so I can fill all my CF cards, and see what this baby can do.



Cheers,

Hope you will have good time in Melbourne and post your photos once you're back.
Why don't ask GregB where're the spots with opportunity to shoot.

Have a good trip Fozzie

Melbournians are reasonably civilized as long as you don't talk football!

Lots of great photo opportunities though, in fact, Melbourne is one of the world's great cities.

Looking forward to seeing your photos when you return

Cheers

Birddog,

My daughter lives and works in Melbourne.

Regarding pictures, I do not have a website to list.

Plus I would have to research how to do it?


Cheers,

There are some nice city views from the Docklands precinct fozzie (nice restaurants too!) I'm sure you'll find plenty of photographables (and it looks like you are in for some nice weather too.)

cheers

There'll be plenty of opportunities for water shots in Melb, especially rainy ones.

Lots of great photo opportunities though, in fact, Melbourne is one of the world's great cities.

That survey was conducted in Victoria. I'm sure the outcome would have been different if it was conducted in Sydney or Adelaide :)
