Except for the CBD, melbourne is a really, really ugly awful dreary city. An endless sea of very badly maintained, shitty little red and brown brick homes, ugly yards, cars parked on peoples front grass. Graffiti, litter and vandalism EVERYWHERE. No green spaces, just a sea of concrete and depressing brick homes. You won't find shady, tree lined streets with well kept homes in this city like you do in any North American city. UGH!!!
@Max5941 spent six months in Melbourne back in '99...and loved it!
The botanical gardens are just opposite the CBD (and are very green and large) and there is plenty of grass at the riverside (running through the city) and other small parks, where you could feed small marsupials if you chose... but sounds like Max was talking about some of the less choice suburbs.. and there are plenty of those in North America (perhaps comparing like with like would be more fair?).
@woosung58 Actually I know Melbourne far better than you. I have been all over this city and while some suburbs are not as bad as others, they just don't compare to the typical North American neighborhood. As for the Botanical Gardens, the fact the best thing you could say about it is that it is green and large says it all.
