Move to the Beach

Posted: October 24th, 2010 by Courtney

It has now been a couple of weeks since we moved from our apartment in the City to Elwood, a beachside suburb on Port Phillip Bay.  Elwood is about a 40-minute tram ride to the CBD and is right next to all of the action in St. Kilda, Melbourne’s most famous beachside suburb.

Over the last few weeks, since the weather is warming up and feeling more that summer, we have been exploring our new surroundings.  We’ve been spending afternoons on the beach (well mostly me since I’ve had a few days off work), biking/running on the Bay Trail along the waterfront, and checking out the shops and restaurants in St Kilda.  So far its been a nice change to living in the City, however we miss being so close to Queen Vic Market and all of the public transport in the City, but I think we will enjoy living by the beach over the summer months.
