hi there my partner lives in the Rat. it's a quiet town (although the locals call it a city) with the odd bogan or two, and not much to do apart from soverign hill, or the wildlife park, and the really nice old school cinema. Or you can go for a run around lake wendouree
You can try the restaurants there- some of which i think are quite nice like the park bistro, jasmine thai (the one on the left side of sturt st when heading away from melbourne towards the gramps), olive grove. food tends to be more expensive than melbourne suprisingly.
good luck |
