I think St. Kilda is nice and close to the grand prix. Isn't it KEV?

WTF? St Kilda? Mate i live at Port Melbourne, where did you get the idea of St Kilda from, & don't say its the same, because is like saying EVO & GLI Lancer are the same.

I'm close to Albert Park, but W.R is closer, he live at Sth Melboure

Just a small insight from someone who is now in that industry between march 15th to April 2nd MOST (approx 90%) of Hotels have put tariffs higher than normal for that period of time as it is commonwealth games and Grand Prix ... you will be struggling to get any cheap accomodation at this time of the year !
My advice look in the papers as some people in those areas are leasing out rooms or houses for a cheaper price !

Don't you worry, mike went through the same thing last yr ehehehe, & he does have my mobile number, it works cause the bastard had send me jokes 2am in the morning a couple of times....
Seriously mike, you know backpackers is the cheapest you will find, & also have availible bed/room at the F1 season.
