- smiler1956Birmingham, UK519 contributionsVisited with my wife on the way to the Botanic Gardens. Very imposing building remembering the people who gave their lives over two world wars. Although we didn't take a tour, just wandering around the outside and viewing the eternal flame was an amazing reminder of how terrible war is.Written March 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mary O4 contributionsNever heard of The Great Ocean Road before but because of Camille with Go West Tours, so many memories from our day exploring the Surf Coast, the Green Coast, and the Shipwreck Coast! Such a rich history in this part of Australia. Thank you Camille for a wonderful day…this trip is a must for those visiting Melbourne who want to get out of the city!Written December 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- smiler1956Birmingham, UK519 contributionsWhat an amazing place alongside the River Yarra. Lots of pubs, restaurants and shops. Great for just a simple stroll, or having a coffee whilst people watching. Lots going on including rowing, river boats and exhibitions. Some lovely bridges to cross and buildings to admire. When we were there they even had a floating light and firework display for Christmas!Written March 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- platypus150Melbourne, Australia27,761 contributionsNext to the Treasury Gardens is the much larger Fitzroy Gardens. These have more features (such as Captain Cooks Cottage, Kiosk, Conservatory), but the tall trees and extensive lawns are a shared featureWritten February 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Navigator382484555411 contributionIt was a great experience! I had never been to such a huge church. I felt very calm there. Also there were mysterious stained glass..

- smiler1956Birmingham, UK519 contributionsVisited with my wife, primarily to find a new back pack. What a huge shopping mall, built around the Coops shot tower, with the most amazing atrium and clock. There are many floors of varied shops, restaurants and cafes.Written March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- smiler1956Birmingham, UK519 contributionsVisited Federation Square initially to visit the National Art Gallery extension. Very interesting display of cultural art and well worth a visit. The square itself is full of wonderful eateries, and shops. Whilst we were there they also had an African food and craft market, where we enjoyed some very tasty food. At night the Christmas display was amazing.Written February 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia14,153 contributionsIn the middle of the middle of the 18th century, a small town in Australia became the richest city in the world. The Great Australian Gold Rush brough enormous wealth and ambition. Marvelous Melbourne. The Gold Rush inspired the construction of St Paul's Anglican Cathedral. Today, St Paul's is both recognized as one of Australia's iconic buildings. The stunning interior has been created over centuries by a combination of worship and Christian philanthropy.Written March 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- smiler1956Birmingham, UK519 contributionsToured the street with my wife, as part of a side street tour from my guide book. This street is part of a U-shaped walk depicting modern street art on the walls of the buildings and backs of restaurants. The huge murals are very impressive, although it is a shame that some vandals have defaced the art with simple "tags".Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JimvinCaterham, UK957 contributionsI stayed on Collins at the Intercontinental Rialto. It is a good street to wander for its architecture and the fancy shops.Written December 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- smiler1956Birmingham, UK519 contributionsTravelled via Flinders Street with my wife and family on many occasions whilst visiting Melbourne. It is the central hub for travel all over the city and beyond. The building itself is stunning, with easy signage to find your destination, simple click in/click out service providing a maximum daily cost via the MIKA card. There are plenty of shops, food stalls and restaurants for every taste.Written March 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
