The Esp

"What's Not To Love?"

This area of St Kilda has something for everyone. It is right on the beach for when the weather warms up, there are some great music venues and bars and there is an amusement park for the young and the young at heart. I went to Luna Park one New Years Eve and saw Tenacious D play, then went on down to the beach for one of the most memorable nights ever. The St Kilda Festival also runs down here each year and there are plenty of restaurants so if you can't find something to do down here there is something wrong with you!

Grosvenor Street

"A Fabulous Nightlife"

I have only been on Chapel Street a few times and most of those times it has been a friend dragging me out to go clubbing or on a party bus. There are plenty of nightclubs and bars for the night owls and most of the clubs stay open to the wee hours of the morning so if you want a big one it is great. It is also a great place to spend the day shopping. Traffic wise I hate it. It is always pretty busy but I'm from the country and am used to no cars and dirt roads so it could just be annoying to me because I'm not used to it.

Box Street

"Avoid If You Can"

So my great grandparents lived on Box Street, then my grandpa moved across the street from them when he started his family and when my great grandparents passed away my uncle purchased there house and moved his family in so I have had to visit this street a lot. I don't feel comfortable walking on the streets alone and worry for my grandfather when he walks to the stores alone as there is a lot of violence and break ins in the area. There is a small strip of stores like a newsagents and a pharmacy as well as a fish and chip shop, some milk bars and a hair salon but that is about it in his section. Backing out of his driveway is always dangerous as cars constantly speed through and come out of nowhere. The transport is pretty good however. Buses run frequently and there are plenty of bus stops.

Cleeland Street

"A Good Bargain At The Market"

The Dandenong Market is located on Cleeland Street and is really the only reason I venture down to Dandenong. It is open Saturdays and Tuesdays and I have never really had any trouble with the parking but I would get there early if you want to get all the bargains. I used to go to get clothes but the stores have gone down hill over the years so now if I go it is to get some cheap fruit and veg. Aesthetically the street is like the rest of Dandenong, smelly and dirty.

Swan Street

"Entertainment Value is High"

I pretty much only go to Swan Street for a couple of reasons. The Corner Hotel, which is a small music venue that can gets some pretty big acts, and Rod Laver Arena which is not only a great place for stadium concerts but is the host of the Australian Tennis Open. Getting public transport to these locations is a cinch with the Richmond Train Station in walking distance of both. Driving is normally pretty smooth, the only problem you might find is on the intersection of Swan Street and Punt Road there are a lot of homeless people washing windows for some money so be prepared to be asked.

Beenak East Road

"A Sleepy Little Town"

I lived here for about a year when I was just out of high school. My friend and I moved into a nice little 3 bedroom house with a huge backyard right opposite the skate park. The rent was great, $180 a week, and we were a couple of minute walk from the grocery store, the pizza place and the pub which were all very important to a couple of 18 year olds. Now this is a small town so every one knows eachother but everyone is super friendly. Our neighbours used to put out the trash for us when we forgot and the boy down the road used to mow the lawn for beer. The pub is full of locals and the meals are pretty average but you can have a fun night out there if you put your mind to it. The bus stop is close by but buses only run every few hours and stop at 8pm weekdays and 12pm Saturdays, not running on Sundays so you will need a car to live here. For tourists there really isn't much. There is Kurth Kiln which is great for horse riding, camping and a good ol' bbq in the summer. You can also swim and go on some beautiful walks down there. I really loved living here because I love the small town environment but if you don't like that then stay away. Also if you live near the skate park be prepared for some rowdy kids late night on the weekends doing burnouts and smashing glass.

Flinders St

"Smack Bang In The Middle Of The City"

Flinders Street has the main train station in Melbourne situated on it and as well as being the main place to catch a train in and out of the city the architecture of the station is one of the most beautiful and most recognized places in the city. The street also has a few places to shop, like Dangerfield, but is mainly lined with souvenir stores and hostels and hotels. It is also smack bang in the moddle of the city so the station can be a great meeting place because of how easy it is to recognize..

Bridge Road

"Shop 'til you drop!"

Oh man, if you love shopping Bridge Road is definitely for you! Make sure your wallet is full and your shoes are comfy because you could easily spend a whole day walking up and down this street of stores and just as easily spend a small fortune. The stores are mainly geared at woman with places like Quick Brown Fox, which have more one of a kind stuff, and Sportsgirl, which is more of a chain store, but there is a lot of variety which is what I love so much about it. There are also several shoes stores where you can get a great bargain. With the shoes stores I will be sure to visit all of them before making a purchase as you will sometimes find the same style in a store just a few minutes down at a much cheaper price. My main problem is the parking. It is a nightmare almost anytime of the day so be prepared to circle around for a while looking for a spot.

Kilvington Drive

"Great Town For A Weekend Drive"

Before Chris and Marie's Plant Farm closed down Emerald was a busy little place to be on the weekends. Because of all the great deals the nursery had people would come from miles around just to pick up a few trays of Box Oz. With not many great places to eat out in this small town the Emerald Bakery Cafe went from being a little place to get a pie into a wonderful place to sit down for a coffee and a focaccia on a sunny day and has been lucky enough to be able to expand and thrive even after the closure of the towns main attraction. Emerald still attracts a lot of cyclers who love to take a break at the Bakery. As for the rest of the shopping this little location leaves a lot to be desired. With only a small menswear shop and kids wear shop there is not much besides the Bakery and the Emerald Lake which also attracts a lot of tourists during the warmer months.

William Street

"A Lovely Haven"

Don't let the dirt roads put you off, Williams Street offers wonderful country views, large and affordable properties, friendly neighbours and is still within walking distance of the main township. There is a bus that runs to Fountain Gate at the end of the street and Puffing Billy runs right by. Emerald Lake is only a 5 minute walk away. A very pleasant place to live.
