Melbourne Alone: A Solo Travel Guide for Women 50 and Over

Melbourne, lane by lane.

Take a counter seat for breakfast at Roule Galette on Flinders Lane, time the Queen Victoria Market right, and ride a tram to St Kilda, keeping to well-lit streets after dark.

Eat alone: Roule Galette, Lygon Street, pho on Victoria Street, laneway counters.

See: Fitzroy, Carlton, the Great Ocean Road and Williamstown by ferry.

Feel safe: well-lit streets over park shortcuts, a licensed taxi late.

Day plans, hotels by budget and honest safety notes. EPUB ebook.
