RE: Escape To St Kilda, Melbourne For An Afternoon of Fun
St Kilda is very hit and miss, I lived there for over 2 years and while it has some real culture its also a bit of a cesspool of dodgyness. It can be nice for a visit on a nice day but the beach itself is one of the worst we have, very polluted.
It's also the epicenter of prostitution for Melbourne, especially grey street which is quite close to where you were :P
I had a very love hate relationship with St kilda, there is always something to do there and fun to be had but it also has its fair share of crime and poverty, when i lived there we had 3 people die in the park next door in one year.
I think it's a good spot in moderation, i think it's just that it combines so many good things together but none of them are quite perfect, eg. we have better spots for food, better spots for beaching and better spots for culture but st kilda mixes them all together
Visiting the place for a day is very different from staying there. I did not swim there but only admire the sea so I didn't know it was polluted. Thanks for your comments, following you now.
its lovely to sit and eat by the water, and its not terrible for swimming but people dont look after it very well. How cute are the penguins though :P
True, the penguins are tiny but cute.
