Melbourne is a wonderful city to explore on foot (or by tram), I spent four days wandering around taking in the city - ending up with sore feet, but it was worth it.
I got my bearings at the top of the Eureka Skydeck, which is on the 88th floor and is the highest viewing deck in the Southern Hemisphere.
The views were incredible.
I wandered through the Alexandra Gardens and the Botanical Gardens stopping at the Shrine of Rememberence - which was very moving as I was there exactly one week before Anzac Day.
Flinders Street Station is the home of a famous Melbourne meeting place - "under the clocks".
The Royal Exhibition Building is beautiful from the outside and I enjoyed looking at the Melbourne Museum, which Is just behind it.
The Yarra River runs through the city - the Yarra Valley is of course famous for its beautiful wine.
I also visited two seaside towns, which were less than thirty minutes from the city centre.
St Kilda, with its old pier and Luna Park.
And Williamstown, which was a step back in time.
I loved Melbourne and cannot wait to return.
