The 12 most Instagrammable spots in Melbourne

Two of my favourite things in the world… Melbourne and Instagram. I fell in love with the social media platform Instagram a little over 2 years ago when I discovered I could use it as a way of sharing beautiful photos online.

It’s the perfect tool for unleashing some of my creative juices by capturing the places, spaces and events in my blogging life, which all come together to document my Melbourne journey on a daily basis.

    All great sports which I’m sure I’ll be heading to soon! I’m a big fan of all the street art around the city. A personal favourite location is Artist’s Lane just off Chapel St.

    I found this article on Pinterest. When I saw it was by you, I said, Hey! I follow her on Instagram. 🙂 (I’m Vegas Beckons on Instagram) Love this article because I have no idea what I should look at when I visit. Melbourne is certainly a HUGE city. Thanks for the ideas!
