Suburb Spotlight: St. Kilda

What a ripper.

If you want Californian walkways, Little Penguins, fairs and the slight seediness of the seaside, then you need to head down to St. Kilda.

Accessible from the City via tram, this beauty is an oasis from Melbourne and its busy lane ways. Perhaps most famous for Luna Park, St. Kilda is a backpacker hot spot and you'll have to get your towels down early to beat the tourists to the beach.


Whilst you're down there, don't forget to check out the pier. The view from there back to the city is awesome. There's a cafe at the end of it, so if you're thinking that it looks like a bit of an effort, rest assured that you can replenish your energy supplies before walking back to the beach.


Walking through the town is also a must. It's full of one-off shops, eateries and quirky folk art.
