There's an 87 somewhere on the building, IIRC. And it's in St Kilda. That's all I know.

...umm....there's a mailbox outside it? (in "Starquest")
Is there anywhere we can go to find out the location of red mailboxes in St Kilda, Victoria?

In the episode The Girlfriend, Col walks past a street sign that says 'Marriott street' on a house, and as you can see the flats in the background, I would say they're in a street next to Marriott st in St.Kilda. I Googled and found this: The cirlce thing is Marriott st. Seeing as how I'm ace at research but shit at directions, i can't tell which way Col was walking, so it could be Odessa, Lambeth, Steele, Argyle....who knows. Someone better print that off and get in the car! And then tell us, I want to go next week. ;D

Location hunt? Inform me further! I'm a noob here. A lot of us are trekking to Melbourne for the final show(s). We had the idea of taking a day to go on a location hunt - eg. Tropicana, the pool, the pub etc. Liz has got a good list of locations thus far.

I just watched the DVD last night - it's definitely #87. If we go in the general vicinity of those streets in the map, we should be able to spot it. Remember, though, that we need to respect those who live there, and not trespass on private property!

I can recommend a few great ones. As for Melbourne, if you haven't decided I can help there as well. Also, once we've decided on our locations, we'll work out the order and the route!

Yuck, you're right, CCB is dodgy! I highly recommend any YHA - I have yet to be disappointed by their hostels. The YHA Melbourne Metro looks great, though I haven't tried that one out yet. Base is tops as well - it's in St. Kilda, which is a 15-minute tram ride out of the city (but since the trams can be pretty slow, that's still pretty good...AND, it's close to the filming locations). After browsing around, though, I think you're onto something with Hotel Bakpak - it looks great! Nice and central, too! (Hmmm - I might actually come down on the Thursday, although the final show's not until Saturday. Just an idea! That way us weary travelers would be more likely to stay in the same room/s, as well.)

Dam...
I cant tell any of my family that I am meeting up with you guys, cause my sister said oh and she's going to see other people off the some random forum...
Um Base sounds good, but its about $30..which is a lot. But if we get the girls floor that woudl be great cause we can actually steal the mini soap lol. They give you a robe (dont knwo if u get to keep it), hairdryers to borrow and stuff like that. Base would be good for the night that we intend to go to all the locations. Cause we'll be exhausted from al the walking. And while we're in St Kilda we can check out chapel st....
Um though Id prob be staying a week in hotelbakpak
