Are you close to the CBD? If so, there's plenty that you can do there and will struggle to do so in just a weekend.

Docklands and South Bank have come along way in recent years. You still have Lygon St, Brunswick St, Swan St, the Gardens, the Aquarium, the Casino and with the City Tram and even the other trams you should be able to get places no problem.

Young and Jackson Hotel, Melbourne
Chloe, the work of distinguished French academician and teacher, Jules Joseph Lefebvre, made her debut in the Paris Salon in 1875, a show case exhibition of the work of the leading French Academic Masters.
Lefebvre indicated in the exhibition catalogue the theme of his work by quoting the three lines from Idylles by the romantic 18th century poet Andre Chenier. Chloe’s Salon debut was a raging success winning both the gold medal and acclamation from Salon judges, critics and the general public.
Chloe’s success established her as a fine work of art. She went on to travel both Sydney and Adelaide with equal success. Only when did she return to Victoria (from Sydney) to be displayed at the Galleries new opening time on Sundays, was there any scandal. The sight of nudity for the ‘Ladies Branch of the Anglican Social Purity’ was too much to ‘bare’. Dr Thomas Fitzgerald found it necessary to take back his kind loan of Chloe after 3 weeks of incredible societal backlash. The Argus received so much correspondence such that it dedicated a column to Chloe.
Dr Fitzgerald eventually hung Chloe at his residence in a front room visible to the public. This also was deemed unacceptable from certain members from the public, resulting in the move to a back room.
Henry Figsby Young purchased Chloe at Dr Fitzgerald’s estate auction in 1909. Young was considered an art collector and during his time at Princes Bridge Hotel, created a hotel that offered its patrons a fine art experience.
In her time at Young and Jackson Hotel, Chloe has witnessed much history including World Wars and Depressions. She has become known as the “Queen of the Bar Room Wall”, the mistress of the Soldiers and
the Naked Nymphe. For many young men, Chloe became the only naked woman they ever witnessed on route to the War. She has captured the hearts of many men – even resulting in damaging relationships due to the
jealous nature of some women.
Chloe still evokes passionate feelings from people of all walks of life. Such innocence, tragedy and beauty. She remains aloof, waiting, with a twist of her head, for the call of her lover from afar. Today she is well loved by both women and men.
Over the years, Y&J’s has had many licensees – one of the most prominent being the Bond Corporation in 1986 whom spent much money on refurbishment.
In 1987, Chloe was moved upstairs. Some said this was out of the public eye, so she could be sold or moved to Perth. Due to public outcry the National Trust stepped in making her part of the Trust. Victoria is now safely
the home of Chloe.
Over the past 150 years, Chloe and Y&J’s have become inextricably linked as part of Melbourne’s Heritage, becoming Icons and attractions for locals and tourists alike. Y&J’s has farewelled countless diggers to war,
welcomed returned servicemen home with open arms and has embraced generations of Melbourne drinkers.

MJ, they also make an ever evolving homebrew cider that ebbs and flows between dry and sweet depending on how long it has been fermenting.
I had a taste at the sweet end of the scale - like apple juice and sickly sweet it was!
They have a roof top cider bar amongst the many bars in the pub.
Would certainly have to be one of Australia's most iconic hotels.
........which leads me to thinking, stay tuned!
