You could start by actually being in the best city. Come to Sydney before you ask where to show her round.

Clearly Adelaide is the best city

You should have seen the sunset over the beach at Tennyson on Saturday night. Simply awe inspiring.

What a place to live!

What's Chapel St like? I've never actually been there....

 

[Shinboners]

Avoid Chapel Street and just head over to Greville Street....there is a market there on Sunday. Avoid the main road (Chapel) and just explore the laneways.

St.Kilda is pretty good....plenty of bars, near the beach etc....weekends there are fabulous.

In the city, start with a wander around the Block Arcade, then head over to Pellegrini's for coffee, before finishing at the Melbourne Supper Club for drinks....

Over to the north of the city and Brunswick Street always has something happening, or if you like things a bit more bohemian, head over to Smith Street (Collingwood) or Gertrude Street (Fitzroy).

If you're going to hire a car, spend a day at either the Yarra Valley or Mornington Peninsula looking at op shops and wineries. Or you could head north to Hepburn Springs for some mineral spa baths.

If she's a materialistic show pony who loves posing along the street in any type of ****y car (preferably convertible!) wearing designer sunnies that match the latest designer outfit - she'll love it!!

(feel better now!)

Take her to the Royal in Richmond,class establishment.

 

[The Hitman]

If you are bored on a Sunday night, head down to Albert Park. I hear there is a clique off BigFooty who play a mean game of indoor soccer...

Serioiusly, St. Kilda, Glenferrie Rd, Southbank, taje them through the CBD, and if you have time, the Mornington Peninsula.

P.S. Avoid Dandenong, trust me.

Try the Courthouse Hotel in Footscray Mall.

They have a dress code though : can't get in without facial tattoos!
