The Top Historic Sights
In Melbourne, Australia



Actually visiting and exploring the top Historic Sights of Melbourne, Australia is a much better hands on way of learning How this city was shaped, better than any classroom teacher could ever teach you.

In here I will introduce you to some fascinating top Melbourne Places to visit.




Melbourne's historic sights collage



When I was young (way,way back) I tried my best to study Australia History but I found the subject matter boring!

Had I been able to experience the excitement, the romance, the thrill of a face to face encounter with this country's History, I think I would have learned and enjoyed it a whole lot more.

I have selected what I believe to be the top historic sights in my hometown. The history of Melbourne is fascinating, I have visited these personally and as I write each one's review you will be able to click onto the image and check it out.

Melbourne Flinders StreetVisit for instance this amazing example of one of Melbourne's historic sights, The world famous Flinders Street Station.

When Melburnians say meet me "under the clocks" they mean the huge clock with 13 smaller clocks below it over the main entrance to the station.

These clocks give the time of the next train on all the suburban train lines.

For decades the 13 clocks on the Flinders Street and Princes Bridge corner facade of Flinders Street Station have been the Melbourne rendezvous spot.

Check out the huge Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ – an instrument that uses ninety thousand cubic feet of air every minute and can produce anything from a delicate whistle to a deafening thunder. Incredible

Visit the grandeur of Como House providing a glimpse into the privileged lifestyle of its former owners, one of Australia’s wealthiest pioneer families.
