What is the best gay bar, club or hotel in Melbourne?

Being gay in Melbourne is great with our selection of gay clubs and bars, but what is your favourite?

It doesn’t matter if your gay scene in Melbourne is a relaxing beverage with a bunch of bears or you want to party the night away… there’s almost certainly a gay venue for you in Melbourne. But where are the best gay places in Melbourne, and why?

Where is Melbourne’s worst suburb for McMansions?

We’ve all heard about certain neighbourhoods of Melbourne which are sprouting up with miles and miles of McMansions that are far too humongous for any reasonably sized family. Your average McMansion floor plans seem more like a fortress than a home.

Analysts argue their effectiveness in assisting smart growth of suburbs. It’s better to have a tiny home, they proclaim – especially in the housing market we’re confronted with. But there’s lots of areas out there loaded with these types of homes.

Maybe they’re on their way out – a cursory browse at sites such as Realestate.com.au displays lots of McMansions for sale on the market.

So where’s the crummiest suburb in Melbourne filled with Mc Mansions and why?

Where are the best places in Melbourne to take photos?

There’s many pretty vistas to take beautiful Melbourne photos. Even if you’re on a road trip rather than shooting photos as a hobby, there’s a lot of spots around the CBD and inner suburbs.

Who makes the best hot chocolate in Melbourne?

There’s a lot of cafes to choose from in the Melbourne metro and CBD area. So which is the best possible for hot chocolate in Melbourne?

While most of us just aren’t as inclined to order a coffee and absolutely love our sugary hot cocoa delicacy… instant drinking chocolate just doesn’t cut it! So what to do? Visit the best possible cafe in your city and get it there!

Possibly you’re satisfied with a jumbo coffee chain, a boutique chocolate specialist, a fantastic homemade drinking chocolate supplier or maybe a great neighbourhood cafe in your local Melbourne suburban area. Where’s your favourite, and why is their hot chocolate formula so great?

Don’t forget to tip us off to how you like to order your drinking chocolate, too – perhaps something like a touch of vanilla extract? Share your secrets!
