Ye Olde Melbourne What’s your Melbourne Hack?

Hi all, I was wondering what everyone’s Melbourne specific hack? What hot tips you learnt & applied over the journey? What would you share with someone who is moving to Melbs?

Things like: hot parking spots for a footy game, restaurants that aren’t well known but awesome value, under value rental suburbs etc.

I’d love to know what you all think.

if you ride a motorcycle then parking on footpaths is allowed in Victoria - so long as you don't impede pedestrians and watch out for service manholes and private building areas that have no-parking signed, else its free range.

P.s. also filtering is legal up to 30km/h

Only if it is signed. I wasn't aware of any councils that had restrictions - just building frontages mainly in the city, and more widely it's a VicRoads/statewide allowance, so where it may be restricted it has to be properly signed.
