Outback Australia: Expectation vs. Reality

Outback Australia: Expectation vs. Reality

If you plan to travel to the Outback of Australia, you probably have some expectations of what it will be like. Stunning views, great photos, lasting memories… And it is all of that, and more. But the reality is this… there will be flies, so many damn flies. You will wear unbecoming fly nets around your head and it will make you a bit crazy.

Things I love...

Things I love about Melbourne (Part 1)

Trams! Occasionally late, slow, delayed by cars, but they go everywhere in this freaking city and that's cool. Fairly easy to understand, too. The drivers are typically kind and willing to help/tell you where to go. And the customer service staff you encounter normally at busy stations & on busy trams, good sense of humour and again, very helpful with letting you know where to go. Many of them seem as though they truly enjoy their job. 

Not only just the regular transit trams, but there's also the "City Circle Tram", this tram is free, does a loop around the outer perimeter of the Central Business District (aka CBD) and along the way, they announce fun and interesting things to do at each stop. And if you're living here like we are (and you're a cheap ass), this tram is perfect as it takes you to the Harbour Town Shopping Outlet, Costco and plenty of grocery stores along route as well!

To be honest, I really just love all the transit in this city in general. But more on that later.  

Special shout out to my favourite (so far) Tram Routes: 57, 55, & 96!
