Today a family visiting the Immigration Discovery Centre explained rather breathlessly that they were staging a holiday in their own city - renting a 5-star hotel room, visiting CBD attractions, eating well, reducing their carbon footprint. "We saved heaps on the air-fare!" the father explained, before giving enthusiastic reviews of Dalì, Pompeii and a number of posh-sounding restaurants. So come on school-holiday Melbournians - get out and see the sights!
