    Melbourne is nice and is not a wannabe Sydney or a miniature version of Sydney. It has its own character and history. But Melbourne gets far more rain than Sydney. The stopover in Singapore is a great idea. I've been visiting Singapore since the 1980s. I could gladly spend a week out of every month in Singapore. It's great for just walking and exploring.

      @@theoutofofficetraveller Check a weather app at least twice a day because the forecast can change quickly 😊 Unless you're sure it'll be sunny all day, it's wise to carry a foldable umbrella and a jacket, because you never know when you might need them! Also a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen for Dec-Mar, as the summer sun can be brutal even on a cloudy day.

    Whilst I myself live in a relatively nice neighbourhood in Melbourne. The city itself has a number of attractions and the outer parts of Melbourne are also appealing in some respects. However I wouldn't rate it highly personally. Yes it's clean in some spaces but overall the bay is pretty flat windswept and hardly appealing during winter. It's mostly quite flat therefore the views are quite bland looking into the distance. It's a nice place and it kind of depends where you live. I would prefer to live elsewhere.
