Melbourne (Top 5 must see's)

[Barrabart]

G'day all,

Heading down to Melbourne in a few weeks with the Mrs, I've never been there before, the Mrs has though....... It's just the two of us heading down. 

Chasing some must do recommendations from local Melbourne folk, what's your "Top 5" things you recommend doing while there, suitable things for a bloke and his Mrs to see n do. No kids entertainment required, just grown up stuff.

Now before the vulgarity begins, I'm meaning as in things we can't do elsewhere............ 

We'll be staying somewhere in the city centre area......

Thanks in advance.

Barrabart.

Eureka Sky Deck, MCG Tour (or a games of something at any of the stadiums - there is always something on), Shrine - Galleries of Remembrance, Young and Jacksons, lunch in Degraves lane, City Circle Tram Tour, a show at any of the theatres.   What are you and your wife into and when exactly are you coming.

Oh, and bring a jumper!

Cheers

JB

I dont live on melbourne but have had a few short visits in recent years & these are a few of the things that we enjoyed.
MCG tour - loved it could've spent the day.
Melbourne Museum
Great ocean road day trip (do the helicopter flight)
Swmbo went to Phillip island to see penguins
Melbourne zoo
And any on the gazillion eating precincts throughout the city.
Art gallery
The big arse church on the corner (St James i think ? ? ? ) in the city
Casino ?
St kilda beach
Really like melbourne lots to see & do but the crowds of people do get to me after a while
I'm sure the local will offer better info but these are some of the things we enjoyed as visitors

we did the tram dinner http://www.tramrestaurant.com.au/ took the late dinner was about 3 /12 hours was not to about an hour and half into the trip I asked "how do we pay for the drinks?" was told they were inclusive in the price !!!well lets say we tried to make up for lost time.

Something Linda wanted to do thought would be a "toss" but quite a good evening. and also the free tram around town getting on and off as you please

Thanks for the tips everyone....... been doing some googling on a few of the suggestions, a few there I hadn't herd of so thanks heaps.

JB, we're pretty much looking forward to just melding into the whole Melbourne 'chill/holiday thing' obviously coming from Cairns we will almost feel like we're in another country...

" Big Smoke "

The best thing to see is the road back out of the place

Agree but wasn't game to be the first to say so.

Hi,
   An excellent view of Melbourne from the stern of the Spirit heading out.

I enjoyed the Old Melbourne Gaol and the Watch-house Tour.  But I'm a bit of a history tragic.

St Kilda beach is way overrated IMO but heading to the pier at dusk to watch the Little Penguin Colony is great fun

Wandering round Victoria Markets if a good way to kill an hour or two as well

my wife is a Melbournian.

She strongly suggests Puffing Billy in the Dandenong ranges. There is a brilliant restaurant in Gembrook called the independent.

(she's an ex Gembrook local herself)
