The Journey : Day 5 Australia : Melbourne City

Melbourne City

It's already my 5th day in Australia and time is really running fast when one enjoys himself huh? This time around will be moving about within the city instead as we already sent back the rented car. So it will be walking and taking public transport only. Though it seems that it's complicated and tiring; it's really not if you're doing it in Melbourne city as the design of the roads within the CBD is like a rectangular shape and most of the tourist attractions maximum walking time takes less than 30 minutes.

Moreover they do provide free shuttle bus to popular tourist attractions with bus drivers providing valuable histories and insights of the locations and same goes to the free city tour tram. Now thats what I call hospitality for tourism. Also they have information centre which is a big complex with all the information required to get around the city as well as the suburbs. Melbourne also allocates friendly volunteers around the city that patrols around to help tourists get to places they want.

Now thats what I call great hospitality to boost tourism.
