      All water naturally has minuscule qty of fluoride. Only marginal qty added which helps teeth and no proven links to problems. Hate to think what your brushing your teeth with?

    I agree that you both did a great job of this tour. However, as a Melburnian, I would have suggested heading a little further out of the CBD area to get a different perspective on the city. The usual places would be Carlton, Fitzroy and Collingwood and if you were really adventurous, I'd recommend Footscray. These areas offer qualities of Melbourne that are different again.
    But for a few days, you did really well and the point is, you enjoyed the experience. That's all one can ask really.

    Melbourne is the Arts, Academic, Sports, Gardens and Cultural centre of Australia. And we have he best coffee culture in the world. It was given the title of the most liveable city in the world quite a number of years by an international committee. Melbourne wraps itself around a bay with beaches, and with mountains and plains in the distance.

In my younger days I hiked and camped in these mountains fly fishing for wild trout (I’m 76) and drank the ice cold water straight from the streams. Some times I would spend an hour watching a platypus searching for food at the bottom of the crystal clear waters. Take and don’t be afraid to drink the water.

    Sorry Melbourne but the State Library of Victoria, as lovely as it is, is not "the oldest public library in Australia".
    The first was the Sydney Free Public Library est 1826, which became The State Library of NSW in 1869.
    And please don't buy water unless you are addicted to the taste of BPA.
    Queuing for things you can easily get elsewhere and doing endless tours sort of defeats the "just explore" principle that I think makes discovering new cities such fun.

      The State Library of Victoria is the oldest "public" library in Australia, the State Library of Sydney is the oldest "continuously operating" library in Australia. Both of these statements come from their official websites. So you are correct that Sydney's library is the oldest in Australia but it is not the oldest "public" library in Australia.
