The Official Queen's Birthday is celebrated on the second Monday in June and this long weekend is the perfect opportunity to attend a Fair Dinkum(real) Aussie Rules Footie match!
The 2 major rival teams that have traditionally played on this Monday are Collingwood and Melbourne.
The game is played at the MCG and if you do get the opportunity to see the match it is well worth it, even though the Melbourne weather in June can mean that it can get quite cold, in fact quite freezing!

Whatever you do make sure that you have some warm clothes to wear as the Melbourne weather in June temperatures can drop very low very suddenly.
The Dandenong Mountains are lots of fun in the winter months with all the parks and gardens open to the public to enjoy a picnic family BBQ.
There is nothing like the combination of the smell of sizzling sausages and the fresh mountain air.
Drop some eucalyptus leaves onto the hotplate and smell the Australian bush...nothing like it!

June also marks the opening of the Ski Season and if you are lucky sometimes it can get so cold here in Melbourne that we actually get to see snow in the mountain ranges that surround the city.
Something the suburban children love to experience.
