Melbourne's laneways
Things To Do

Sometimes a little daunting, and often missed by visitors, Melbourne's unique laneways are a treasure trove of food, drinking and shopping! There's something for everyone in Melbourne's laneways, and even locals sometimes find they have difficulties re-finding that cute little store/restaurant/cafe that they could swear was there last week!

Let’s face it, if you didn’t want to see some of Australia’s famous quirky wildlife while visiting, it’s only because you’ve seen it before! Everyone loves a kangaroo, not to mention dingos, wallabies, koalas, wombats and echidnas. If it’s a strange animal, chances are it lives in Australia (let’s not even start on the snakes!).

Capital City Trail

Melbourne is just about the only city in Australia where the locals have taken up cycling. We're a pretty flat city, and not too hot, which makes it easy to commute on two wheels. But when you'd rather go for a leisurely bike ride, the Capital City Trail is a great way to circumnavigate the city.

To be honest, locals *don't* love it. It was expensive, it's hard to get there, and now no-one goes... But if you like creepy places with no people that look like they're straight out of a sci-fi movie, you should go there!

The Abbotsford Convent is a multi-faceted arts and culture precinct, an oasis away from the busyness that surrounds it. The Convent was established in 1863 by four nuns from the Good Shepherd Order as a place where they could care for women. After it was sold, in 1975, locals fought hard to keep it from being developed into apartments and won!

Only 5km from the the Melbourne CBD, just on the Yarra River is an oasis of seven hectares of paddocks, gardens, orchards, rustic buildings and shady trees. The Collingwood Children's Farm is a not-for-profit community resource providing country experiences for city people.
The onsite cafe is also a great place to go for breakfast!

Federation Square- an eyesore, or the heart of Melbourne’s cultural scene? This debate has divided Melbourne’s locals since Federation square was opened in 2002. ‘Fed’ Square is a paradox- Melbourne’s 2nd most popular tourist attraction with 9 million visitors in 2011, and a complex often voted one of the world’s ugliest buildings or attractions.

The Eureka Skydeck is home to the best views of Melbourne. The observation deck is also home to "The Edge," where you can stand inside a glass capsule as it projects three metres out from the building, leaving you hanging almost 300 metres above the ground.

Werribee Gorge Circuit Walk
Things To Do

Only approximately 1hr drive from Melbourne, this walk offers lovely views and a real sense of adventure. In terms of difficulty, it would probably be graded medium/hard as there are some steep sections as well as a wire cable section. It has two loop tracks to choose from, both starting and finishing at Meikles Point Picnic Area.

Lovely little park for friends, families and pets. With a combination of more than 30 stalls and food trucks, this market is a winner with the locals even though it is relatively new. Plenty of public transport if you are not taking the car.

At only 1.5hrs from Melbourne, Queenscliff is well worth a day trip, especially in the summer. This small seaside town makes you feel like you have stepped back in time with its beautiful historical buildings.
It can also be included as a stop on a longer drive down to Torquay, Lonsdale, or further along the Great Ocean Road.

Australia's most famous outlaw bushranger and national hero Ned Kelly was hanged here. It is also widely considered to be haunted. The Old Melbourne Gaol used to be the prison and execution spot for dozens of criminals in Melbourne's early history.
