Melbourne POTNS: MUST READ

MattyB · 25th of October 2005 (Tue)

who here is from melbourne australia (or wants to come down for the event) and wants to organise a photo-day?

start off at flinders stairs - we'll know who's who by looking for the cameras hanging off our necks

go for a walk around melbourne city, yarra - southbank - china town - melbourne muesum - etc etc
then hop on a tram and goto st kila beach - st kilda marina - etc etc.

who's interested?

we could even try and organise it during some sort of free melbourne event happening at fed square so we can kill 2 birds with one stone..

if you know any melbournians on these forums who haven't seen this thread - please link them to raise interest.

thanks

Hi All

I am off the Phillip Island on the 24th & 25th November to shoot the Island Magic race meeting.

Anyone else coming down for this?

I may have some cheap accommodation available ($10 per night) in a full furbished house about 5 minutes from the track.

For what its worth, ill be down in Melbourne from the 24th to the 29th of this month. Staying with a friend for free and hopefully catching up with the GF a bit while she is down there too. Probably wouldnt be able to make a meet up, but any suggestions as far as photo ops go would be greatly appreciated

Ive already got the shot tower or whatever its called at melbourne central on the list. its like the token melbourne landmark photo
