Things to do in Melbourne

[MagicNinja]

Despite living in Australia and having been to Melbourne twice, i've never actually been anywhere there besides the casino / crown hotel.

I'm thinking about moving there on a whim because it seems like the most interesting city in Australia (certainly compared to Perth which is nice, but tiny), but will probably fly there first to check it out and see if i'd like to live there.

Any recommendations for good places to listen to music (especially live bands, of basically all genres), information on best areas to live, weird things to do, farmers markets, whatever, would be much appreciated.
