St. Kilda Botanical Gardens

This historic botanical garden has a modern twist, incorporating a fascinating Eco-Centre into its green lawns, stunning native flowerbeds and rose garden.

One of our favourite things to do in Melbourne is cycle along the coastal track which runs from Port Melbourne all the way to Brighton Beach. Makes for a great family activity.

Elwood Beach

Why not spend a carefree afternoon at Elwood Beach during your travels in Melbourne? Make some time to visit the shops while you're in the area.
