Werribee Open Range Zoo

posted by gcrissman on 1 December 2010 at 14:26

Our whole family loved this safari-style zoo, it's so nice to see the animals in plenty of space getting on with their normal behaviour rather than all cramped and agitated. We did the bus tour and also a canoe tour. Loved seeing all the australian animals as there's not that many in european zoos. Great day out.

where, when, how, web
werribee park shuttle from victorian arts centre, only runs a couple of times a day so you need to check a timetable!

Flinders Street Station

posted by hshaner on 1 December 2010 at 14:24

Apparently the busiest suburban railway station in the southern hemisphere, this station is very grand indeed. I loved it here, the victorian architecture and particularly the domed clock tower, as well as the contrast with neighbouring federation square with its modern intriguing architecture.

where, when, how, web
on the free city circle tram or easy to get to by train!

Gippsland

posted by jheyman on 1 December 2010 at 14:23

Whilst visiting friends in Melbourne they took us to Gippsland for a couple of days where we sailed on the river with dolphins and trekked through a forest. Beautiful place, you really feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. Well that was until we got to the outback...

where, when, how, web
A couple of hours' drive from Melbourne

Melbourne Aquarium

posted by blarson on 1 December 2010 at 14:22

I guess they have great natural resources in Australia so it's hardly surprising this is an amazing aquarium. So much to see, and so many things i'd not seen before it was really exciting. River to Reef was the best bit for me, the setting was as fabulous as the creatures themselves!

where, when, how, web
finders street and king street, you can get there on the free city circle trams too!

Nissi Beach

posted by mhunter on 1 December 2010 at 12:56

It's easy to see why this is the most popular beach in ayia napa, the beach itself is long and beautiful and the waters are shallow warm and clear, oh I could stay forever. Lovely for relaxing or you can be bold and try windsurfing or jetbiking!

where, when, how, web
just to the west of the centre, off nissi avenue
