In March 2014 I travelled to Melbourne along with my friend and it was indeed a life time experience. Melbourne has many great venues places to watch, learn, inspect, exhibit, show, play, laugh, drive, race, rock and listen. There is so much to see and do in Melbourne, whether you are a local or international visitor. We went to Federation Square, Queen Victoria Market, Eureka Skydeck 88, Great Ocean Road, Melbourne Star, Melbourne Zoo.
On the very first day we visited Puffing Billy and Yaara valley. Puffing Billy is a short but cooling ride on a shaking, noisy, wooden train.
We only had one day to spend in the Yarra Valley on this Yarra Valley wine tour. We had lunch over there and also visited 4 wineries, the Dairy/ cheese factory, The Yarra Valley Chocolate factory and The White Rabbit brewery. It was just great to have some variety; it’s a brilliant tour and a must for any visitor. I think this is one of the best things to do in Melbourne. It certainly is value for money, lovely wineries, plenty of wine to taste, the cheese and chocolate tastings are also lovely and the scenery is just fab.
We explored Melbourne ourselves by using local transport like trams and shuttle service. The Melbourne Visitor Shuttle is a great way to explore inner city Melbourne. Ride is very comfortable while listening to stories about the city's colourful past and current. One can get the copy of shuttle route service at the Melbourne Visitor Centre. We also visited The Shrine and Royal Botanic Gardens, Harbour Town-Docklands, Melbourne Museum and Carlton Gardens and Fitzroy Gardens. One can find a lot of shopping locations in center Melobourne near to Bourke street, Swanston street and Collins Street. Travelling to Melbourne was one of the best experience of my life!!!
