The Melbourne Club (pictured) is right out of the land of London's gentlemen's clubs. Beautiful place inside including huge dining room for up to 200 though only about a dozen of us were there on Wednesday night. Maybe the movers and shakers are still on holiday.
The lift is a virtual museum piece, all dark wood and grills, the billiards room as it should be, the library and reading room undisturbed and the garden at the back a haven of peace, far enough away from busy Collins Street.
Another gem is the wine cellar which is about 100 metres long and currently holds around 150,000 bottles. It also has private vaults where individual members can store their own wine ! Dave
