tourist attractions will also give you an insight in to the past and present of
this wondrous city.
A Guide To Melbourne
Let your sightseeing in Melbourne begin with a walk down the dusty memory lanes.
Melbourne was established in the year 1835 and it is quite young when compared
to some of the other cities around the world. But it sure has some history to
boast of.
For those who like hobnobbing with history, Melbourne vacations are incomplete
without a visit to a spectacle in concrete, unfortunately still unfinished,
called the Parliament House of Victoria, Melbourne. Your Melbourne travel guide
will also insist upon a visit to the Old Melbourne Gaol, the oldest prison in
Melbourne and home to the country's most notorious criminals.
Other tourist spots in Melbourne flaunting history are the Royal Exhibition
Building and Carlton Gardens, the Melbourne Town Hall and the assortment of
Melbourne museums that house memorabilia ranging from racing exhibits (the Australian
Racing Museum) to archaeological artifacts (the Ian Potter Classics and Archaeology
Collections, Melbourne).
When you are in Melbourne, Australia, do what the Aussies love best. Head outdoors
and get into some sport or the other. Visit a piece of cricketing legend at
Melbourne Cricket Ground, the site of the very first Test and One-Day International
matches, the biggest sporting venue in Australia and the place which has courted
the underarm bowling and the ball-throwing controversies. Or catch the aspiring
Schumachers and Hills in action at the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, held
at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Albert Park.
Pep up your outings with trips to the various Melbourne amusement parks. One
can explore the St. Kilda Adventure Playground, Melbourne and the Whittlesea
Alpine Toboggan Park, Melbourne to ensure that the little ones and the active
ones in your family get to enjoy their share of fun-filled Melbourne moments.
Bring some arty zing into your Melbourne holidays. While you are sightseeing
in Melbourne, take a tour through the Bendigo Art Gallery, the Australian Center
for Contemporary Art or the Original & Authentic Aboriginal Art, Melbourne
and get a hang of what the Australian art arcadia is all about.
When one is sightseeing in Melbourne, one cannot afford to miss out on the
abundant Melbourne parks and gardens present balmy breaks from the glass-fronted
and steel-paned silhouettes all around. Nature and all her wonders simply gush
forth at the various national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in Melbourne too.
