| Like other major Australian cities Melbourne is park and water-oriented. The Yarra is the main focus with rowing and river cruises figuring high in things to do around the centre - apart from eating and drinking of course, while further downstream the Docklands provide a new focal point for more conspicuous consumption.
The Royal Botanic Gardens on the banks of the Yarra nearby are beautifully laid out, diverse and interesting, just one of the city's grand green spaces.
The suburb of St Kilda is a classic seaside resort with pier, pavilion, amusement park, market, beach and endless establishments to service the hordes that descend on the town on warm sunny days. |
