Places to go In & Around Melbourne

by poj1983

Ok mate so these are the places which I would recommend you don't miss on when you are in Melbourne:1. Melbourne City:a. Southgate - nice place if you love food and wine, there is also a hig-rise tower called Eureka Tower go to the 88th Floor where you have a glass enclosure room which protrudes 3 ft from the tower and the view from there is amazing.b. For Party lover who like to party hard St. Kilda is the place to be. There are few streets in St. Kilda like Chappel Street, St Kilda Beach, for Confectionary food lovers Acland Street is the heaven.c. Gamblers, guys if you like to go to a casino like me then "Crown Casino" is the place to be. Poker lovers would enjoy their time here. Good luch and try to make some BUCKS!2. Blue Dandenongs:a. If you love to be at a place where you are surrounded by Ausssie Cockatoo's, Lier Bird and many other native bird species then this is the place to...

Outback Time at Myella

by jacquitabanana

We spent 3 days at Myella Farmstay just outside Rockhampton, Queensland.At the farm theres soo much to do as well as top class facilities.. While there I learned to ride a motorbike and did alot of horseriding. Followed lots of tree frogs and cane toads about. Watch the spectacular sunsets and soo much more... If you want fit in even a little bit of outback farmstay this is the place as you can stay for a day trip up to weeks and weeks..Beautiful part of the country too.

Hiking in Tasmania's national...

by DueSer

Hiking in Tasmania's national parks is a fantastic part of experiencing Australia.How many places can you hike with a view of mountains and the water and get to meet some of the locals, like adorable wallabies hopping across the path in front of you? Tasmania is often forgotten by those visiting the rest of Australia but it definitely should not be missed!

Tip Photo
Queen Victoria Building

by DueSer

The Queen Victoria Building, or QVB, is an amazing place that you should not miss, even if you don't buy anything. This mall (or arcade as they call them in Australia) is located within a gorgeous building that was built in 1898. It also has a very futuristic women's restroom that is a one of a kind, as far as I know. In the center of the mall is a huge clock. When it chimes the hour, little figures come out and tell the history of Australia. The weirdest part is a sealed letter from Queen Elizabeth II that is to be read to the people of Sydney in the year 2085. Until that time, it's in a glass case inside the mall.

Fire Brigade Museum, Peerth

by hopang

Fire Brigade Museum is located at Old Perth Fire Station (Fire Brigade No. 1 Station) at Murray Street in the heart of Perth. It is home to Fire Safety Education Center and Museum. The museum exhibits ancient fire fighting equipment and is a popular tourist attraction. The old fire brigade was opened in 1901 and continued to be used until 1979. The building was designed by Michael Cavanagh. Admission to the museum is free. So take the opportunity to visit the Fire Brigade Museum when you are having a vacation in Perth!

Kings Park, Perth

by hopang

Kings Park (formerly known as Perth Park years ago) is located at Mount Eliza on the western section of Perth City. It covers a total area of approximately 1,000 acres. The park contains botanical gardens, State War Memorial, bushland and parkland. Kings Park was founded as early as in 1895. State War Memorial is a sad tourist attraction as it contains the names of the fallen Australian soldiers who died in the First and Second World Wars. Kings Park has a spectacular view of Perth City and Swan River. Don't miss Kings Park when you are in Perth!

Cruise along the Swan River, Perth

by hopang

Swan River flows directly through the City of Perth from Freemantle. It is the largest river in Perth. Take a leisurely cruise between Perth and Freemantle along the Swan River. Simply relax and enjoy the sight-seeing cruise! It has been a very popular activity for local and foreign tourists arriving in Perth. It is considered by many as a must-visit attraction!Most Swan River cruises depart from Barrack Street Jetty in Perth and Port Freemantle in Freemantle. A roundtrip costs approximately US$30.00 per adult without lunch or dinner and lasts approximately three hours. One of the popular cruise operators in Perth is Captain Cook Cruises. You may purchase cruise packages which may include lunch or dinner. The cruise boat will cruise along the popular Millionaire's Row where you will be able to see large mansions along both sides of the Swan River. The boat will cruise through other...

Lake Monger, Perth

by hopang

Lake Monger is located along Mitchell Freeway, approximately five kilometres from the heart of Perth city in Western Australia. It covers a total area of approximately 100 hectares. There is an island in the south-western part of the lake. Most parts of the lake are shallow. Lake Monger is one of the popular tourist atttractions in Western Australia. Approximately half a million local and foreign tourists visit the lake each year. Many visitors love to feed black swans which make Lake Monger their home.Walking, jogging and cycling tracks encircle the lake and it takes approximately half an hour to walk one round. There are barbecue facilities for those who love picnic. There are also lots of birdlife for those who love bird-watching.

Atlantis Marine Park, Perth

by hopang

Atlantis Marine Park was officially opened in 1981. It was located approximately 60 kilometres north of Perth in Western Australia. It was one of the largest amusement parks in the world. Unfortunately due to financial difficulties, Atlantis Marine Park closed in 1990. Atlantis Marine Park was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful marine parks in the world we had ever seen. We posted this travel tip in our Australia travel page simply because many young people in Australia and the rest of the world have not seen or even heard of such wonderful theme park. Today the site is a white elephant unfortunately!You are welcome to visit hopang's Australia Travelogues and Australia travel pages for more photographs of Atlantis Marine Park in Perth.
