Postcard from Hosier Lane
There are a lot of comparisons between Melbourne and Sydney, but one of my favorites is that Sydney is the hot girl while Melbourne is the one with a great personality. While Sydney has a striking harbour and gorgeous beaches–you know, that sort of obvious beauty–Melbourne has a network of hidden alleys and off-the-beaten-path lanes with absolutely incredible street art. 
Just like a girl with a great personality, these alleys are dynamic and independent: you never know what you’re going to get next. I’ll take that element of surprise over simply stunning any day.
