I rate 8bit's burgers as some of Melbourne's finest. I love their Altered Beast w/jalapeño but their Golden Axe with Sriracha Mayo is a real find. The queue is worth the wait for a delicious bite at 8bit

Getting Around
I love travelling in Melbourne because they know how to do Public Transport! When you arrive at the airport or are returning to the airport after spending time in this metropolis - take the Skybus to the airport. It is easy to get to Spencer Street station where the buses terminate and they leave so often it doesn't matter if you just miss one. You can pay online and then just wave your phone at the man who checks the tickets - brilliant! Lots of space on board for all those suitcases, rucksacks etc etc and nice friendly drivers who introduce themselves and explain where to get on and off for the different airlines!
