Swim with the Sharks at the Melbourne Aquarium.

Indulge in a leisurely stroll along the banks of the Yarra river.
Melbourne's Southbank Precinct offers a great opportunity to sit and relax in one of the modern Cafes or yummy Melbourne Restaurants.
Enjoy a game of 10 pin bowling or sit back and relax watching the very latest movies at the Crown Casino, just some of the entertainment that you can enjoy at this top Hotel.
If you are at Southbank at night experience the rush of the flaming towers as they erupt in an exciting display reflected in the waters of the Yarra river.
And while you are here don't miss out on a visit to the Royal Melbourne Zoo. Heritage listed and with an amazing collection of exotic, unusual and endangered species.
There are two other Zoos within a short drive from the City's centre.
Werribee Open Range is an amazing wide open prairie filled with animals that roam free. Here you can experience African beasts in a natural setting.
For a close encounter of the animal kind visit the Healesville Sanctuary and really get to know some of Australia's unique species.
Wander through Federation Square and set up a picnic in Birrarung Marr.
