Melbourne has a very different city plan than Denver. The city of Melbourne itself isn’t bigger than downtown Denver (in land area). And so the bulk of people live in ’suburbs’, but these aren’t the same and Ameican suburbs. They’re more like neighborhoods that are city units. Like Capital Hill would be a suburb, or Five Points. It’s neat. You get to the Americanesque burb way out (like Long Island), 20km from the city center.
Public transport is great: busses, light rail, and trains (like above ground subway, but not elevated). You buy a 2 hour pass or a daily and just go!
I’ll prolly swing dance tonight or tomorrow.
