We flew direct ot Melbourne, 22 hours on a Qantas 747. Thankfully we flew business class so it was a bit more bearable. Getting through immigration and customs was easy, but the one downside to Melbourne airport is no rail connection to the city.
However we got on on of the city hoppers and 30 minutes later we were at our hotel. We had a deluxe room which was massive, the hotel is right in the middle of the CBD and is 2 minutes walk from the Yarra River. The hotel was friendly Melbourne is easy to get around, there is a city circle tram which is free and runs past most of the tourist places. Go to the observation deck down Collins Avenue, its the highest building in Melbourne and you get great views. Old Melbourne jail is ok for a quick look around and you can see Ned Kellys death mask. Along the Yarra is a complex known as Southbank and Crown Cassino. There are loads of shops and restaurants there and they are very good. My wife went to the Neighbours set, it cost $25 but she said it wasnt that great.
Perth wasnt as good as Melbourne. The city centre looked very much like the any town centre in England. The hotel was by the river but it has the appearance of a prison with the rooms on balconies overlooking the central atrium. We upgraded to the club rooms, which gave us free breakfast and evening drinks. We went to Freemantle by boat which was pleasant, and took a helicopter trip over the city (we managed to get a 30 minute journey for the price of 15) Other than that we sat around the pool as it was very hot. Eating in Perth is great, go to Northbridge for the Cafes and restaurants, or if you want to push the boat out go to Frasers in Kings Park.
We had been to Singapre before and just used it to break up the return journey. The Marina Mandarin is in the heart of a shopping complex. The hotel is massive and to me it is souless, it is just a big concern with no personal feel. We didnt eat in the hotel but instead went to Clarke Quay and Boat Quay. Here you can choose what sort of food you want and sit by the river, it is always warm and so it is great. You must go to the Long Bar at Raffles and have a Singapore Sling. You need to dress smart but you dont need a tie or jacket.
