Title: where to stay in melbourne (close to etihad)
Post by: paceman on October 17, 2017, 06:01:53 PM: hi all,

i have tickets to the foo fighters in melbourne (at etihad) in january and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a nice place to stay, within reasonable walking distance to the stadium?

it's for my 40th, so four star or above would be OK... :)

probably for three nights...

any help appreciated...

This is a much better idea!!!!
