After the gold rush comes the art.

Hustling city streets meet good coffee and even better graffiti. The beaches and the business district may shine bright but it's the laneways and mean looking back streets where the real gems of Melbourne are to be found. Full of art and alternative style, beneath the fading wild-west prospector facades and spray painted walls, lies a forward thinking city that breaths an intelligent air of optimism and inclusion (and the sushi ain't half bad either).
