What to see in Melbourne.

Seems like it’s been centuries since the last update.

As I mentioned, I would like to talk about things to do in Melbourne.

To get to Melbourne, simply wait when Air Asia is giving cheap tickets & obtain an electronic visa prior to the bookings. What you need to do next is to cramp into the lil’ small yet the most reasonably-priced seat for 8 hours from KL. On reaching, if you are on budget, take the airport bus to Southern Cross, buy a weekly unlimited pass & prepare to roam Melbourne.

1st, Tourist attractions

Federation Square, which is just opposite the Flinders street station, the oldest station. You can reach there from Southern Cross by train. You can enjoy the river tour or the fine art exhibitions there.

There is a lot of entertainment inside the Crown, you can enjoy the good food, simulators & also perhaps donate your money on the tables.

Eureka Tower is another landmark to visit. Its a 88 storey with an observation deck where you can have the whole Melbourne in your retina. I was advised to enjoy the night view of Melbourne rather than going in the noon.

In the lift. The lift took seconds for us to reach the top, I believe it took lesser time to drop.

For those with unlimited case in hand,

Collins street is the best place. But for those without,

DFO @ South Wharf will be a better one.

Besides that, there are another few places to visit. DSC_2813

The twelve apostles, where you observe the rocks or have a heli-ride over the rocks & the Great Ocean Road.

That’s not all of the tourist attractions but thats what I feel nice & truly enjoyed it.

About the food, it will be in the next post.
