9 days in Melbourne Itinerary

The state of Victoria crown jewel, Melbourne boasts shaded streets, leafy residential neighborhoods, vibrant street life, and a picturesque city center.

Get some cultural insight at Melbourne Museum and Sovereign Hill. Visiting The Great Ocean Road and Koala Conservation Centre will get you outdoors. Get out of town with these interesting Melbourne side-trips: Art Gallery of Ballarat (in Ballarat), Panorama Garden Estate (in Boneo) and Rosebud Park Golf Course (in Rosebud). There's still lots to do: shop like a local with Melbourne Central, browse the exhibits of Federation Square, steep yourself in history at Old Melbourne Gaol, and identify plant and animal life at Phillip Island Wildlife Park.

December in Melbourne sees daily highs of 30°C and lows of 14°C at night. Cap off your sightseeing on the 9th (Wed) early enough to travel back home.
