Living it up in Melbourne!

Melbourne is known as one of the most liveable city across the world and is known for its vast and huge aura that it is surrounded with some of the best destinations that offer a lot of the conscience, to the eyes, it has a lot on the list to offer to the tourists and to the people of all ages.

Some of the places on the list that I would to go and visit in Melbourne are:

Melbourne Zoo: Animals in the natural parks, botanical gardens, zoological parks are a pleasant site to go around. They offer a lot of learning about other creatures on the planet Earth. The zoo at Melbourne has a lot on the list to offer to the tourists with some of the best animals breeds there and  maintained in the most amazing ways with all the facilities at the disposal.

Melbourne Cricket Ground: Melbourne Cricket Ground acronymed as MCG is one of the best cricketing grounds in the world with well maintenance having the good food corners with good seating facilities. The stadium has good viewing facilities.

The Great Ocean Road: This is one of the most favoured travel destinations in Melbourne on the list which has lot of natural scenic beauty to be offered in the form of villages, beaches, bridges on its way. The long drive on the route is worth looking forward for and making some of the best memories to be imprinted into the memory lane.

Flinders Street Station: This site has amazing site viewing and great offerings to bring on the list to make Melbourne as one of the most favoured and best destination.

City Tram: City Tram ride across the city is one of the best options for public traveling across the city. The city ride could be well taken around the city and that gives a ride around the whole city. Melbourne City has one of the best tram services.

I would some day like to experience all of this on my own and explore the city out in a wonderful way with the wondered destinations that have a lot to offer to everyone to all the people of all ages.


I am looking forward to dig the city deep with TOURISM VICTORIA WEBSITE and Indiblogger.

  1. Great post! After reading your post & watching all the videos, I'd most like to visit the Dandenong Ranges for it's scenic beauty, breathtaking view and cool breeze blowing through my hair. :P I'd give anything away for driving through the winding roads which are present throughout the ranges. I'd love to stay at one of the bed and breakfast cottages and go on frequent excursions in the forests with my camera which provides excellent views. And not to forget the famous ride in the Puffing Billy, a day reserved especially for that. To add to that, there are also several picnic spots for me and my friends to spend a fun-filled day and the ranges are a perfect spot for hiking and cycling. :D

  2. Wonderful post and interesting videos that make me feel that
    Melbourne invites the eternal romantic in me to hold hands with my beloved and go see the Twelve Apostles .Go on long drives on the great ocean road. In the middle of nowhere in a vineyard spread a table and enjoy a meal and a glass of wine with my dear one. Enjoy the sunsets holding hands and do lots of shopping at the Queen Victoria Market and see all the graffiti being created at the hosier lane.
    Great Post and interesting videos watching them I am sure to visit Sovereign Hill for spending some time in the era gone by. The lure of gold and panning for some nuggets is a temptation that is too much to resist. After I have found the gold I am bound to celebrate it with some wine so I will visit the vineyards and enjoy some great wine from the Yarra region .Visit the Pannys Phillip Island Chocolate Factory and have my fill with this yummy delight.

  3. I would like to visit the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) which is located in Yarra Park. Cricket has fancied me since childhood. I still remember those days when the elders in my neighbourhood used to start shouting and hunting for us the moment the cricket ball hit by me broke one of their window panes. Running away from them was even more exciting than playing cricket itself.

    I used to follow every cricket match played by India religiously and used to analyse and discuss it with friends and siblings for days and months. Being such an enthusiastic fan of cricket, visiting one of the world’s largest cricket stadiums is one of my dreams.

    The thought of being seated amongst 95,000 other fans of cricket and cheering the players itself sounds exciting to me. Such large cricket stadiums are one of the ways to explore how much the passion for cricket has penetrated among the people of the world. MCG is located in Yarra Park, which also has many other sporting fields. This would allow me to explore not just cricket, but also many other games.

  4. Great post! After reading your post & watching all the videos, I would definitely want to visit all those amazing places when I get to visit Melbourne :) But of all, my top pick would be a visit to Yarra valley for a beautiful sunrise balloon flight. After seeing the video, I can't stop myself from dreaming a romantic magical flight above the scenic vineyards and watching the sunrise from up above! Throw in my favorite wine, I will doubly enjoy the ride sipping my glass and taking sensational selfies all the way :) Now I can't think of a better way of spending a vacation!!

    Next of course, cruising through the great ocean road in a open-top car to enjoy the coastal scenery and the iconic 12 apostles for the nature's amazing work at play. Then a ride around the city in the vintage trams to enjoy its urban splendor and the legendary puffing billy to enjoy its natural splendor. Finally a day at the hot springs to unwind and totally rejuvenate myself :)

  5. Hi!
    We know beauty never need words but without words it cannot be explained and when you get wordless after seeing it... your mouth still get open wide and WOW comes out. Dear! Your explanation about Melbourne is wonderful and picturesque description. I am a person who always attracted to nature first of any place so I would love to see the Melbourne Nature & Wildlife. The 12 Apostles rock formations is world famous rocks which changes its color in sunrise and sun set. And then I will see the Phillip Island Nature Park where I want to see the animals which I hardly see in India. I never saw Penguins, Koala and other animals.
    Driving on a smooth road with natural beauty around you, it always gives you a feeling of heaven on Earth. I would love to drive on Great Ocean Road which is also famous in world to give you a scenic experience and the pleasure of that driving is amazing.
