We stayed in Melbourne for 2 days and 2 days, and absolutely fell in love with the place. Completely completely fell in love with it! The city has a beautiful green cover all across, looked to us very easy going with people out for runs, cycling in the noons, romancing […]
It will be an understatement to say that Australia has some of the most stunning beaches of the world. An island country it is, after all, flanked by the Indian ocean and the Pacific ocean. Owing to an abundance of beaches for swimming and surfing, we found, Australians are almost […]
