Find out what's hiding outside Melbourne, Australia

When you take a medical job in Australia, you can venture just a few minutes outside of Melbourne and find the cozy seaside town of St. Kilda. In this laid-back community, residents and locals are constantly coming up with ways to make the boardwalk, bars and beaches a bit more exciting. A number of concert venues, both indoor and out in the open air, cater to internationally renowned artists and the opportunities to splurge on fashion items or food meet you at every street corner.

The Palais Theatre
is the largest in all of Australia, seating about 3,000 patrons in its lavish auditorium, and it's also the perfect place to brush up on your Art Deco knowledge, as the architecture is a true representation of this particular style. Hosting a variety of different performing arts events and musicians such as Jimmy Buffett and Emmylou Harris, the venue always has something fresh going on during any time of year.

Finding ways to spend your hard-earned money won't be hard in this beach town. Jewelers, poster art shops and unique children's clothing stores like Chalk n Cheese line the sandy streets, enticing you to come inside and mingle with local store owners.
