I've been thinking about making the move to Melbourne from the States for a while now. I'll be heading there for about 2 weeks next month. What are the must-do activities, restaurants, and places to hit while there?

I live in Collingwood/Fitzroy area (inner north) and it's awesome for bars and restaurants. The mistake some people make is thinking the city is all there is. The downtown CBD is fine for business stuff and great restaurants bars etc but make sure you check out inner suburbs like Fitzroy, St Kilda, prahan etc
