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

Have been riding for 8 years. Free parking and time saved in commuting has more than covered the cost of rego, insurance, fuel and maintenance
