Hey Mike,
Apologies in advance if you are already aware of this.
Hubing out of Southbank will give you access to everything you could need or want.
It's one of many tourist friendly spots in town.
Melbourne is a great city. Easy to navigate. Easy to get around. And the more you dig the more little gems you can find.
Other than that the only negative is the over policing of harmless, victimless type crimes.

Safe travels and enjoy your trip.
