Weekend in Melbourne: St. Kilda Festival

If you're down under and anywhere near Melbourne now, get thee to St. Kilda for the St. Kilda Festival finale -- free live music and lots of fun things to do in the sun in that very cool part of town through Sunday. You can hop a cheapie flight to Melbourne on Qantas-backed budget Australian airline Jetstar and catch the festival's big closing on Sunday (the train from Sydney to Melbourne takes all day or night, and it's a looong drive). Check out some Melbourne photos and a good place to hang your hat in Australia's hippest city:
