Luxury Australia Travel - 7 Of The Best
Attractions To Visit On
Your Melbourne Australia Travel
By Helen Palmer
Luxury Australia travel has got to be one of the best ways to
see one of the most fascinating travel destinations in the
world. This huge continent which is split into 6 states and 2
territories covers an area of some 7,617,930 square kilometers
or 2,941,299 square miles. The largest state alone, Western
Australia, is approximately 5 times the size of Texas, USA!
Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia and one of
the most popular destinations for travellers to the continent.
So what are the best things to see and do?
Luxury Australia travel does not have to be expensive -
lifestyle in Australia comes as a given - it's the way of life
in this part of the world, so add a little luxury into your
Australia travel with some of our suggestions.
Take a tour to Phillip Island, home to the Australian
Motorcycle Grand Prix, an easy 90 minute drive from Melbourne
itself and you will discover a world of contrasts.
Billed as Victoria's wildlife island, you will be surprised to
find the Grand Prix circuit nestles close to the world famous
Penguin parade, the Koala Conservation Centre, Churchill Island
Heritage Farm and the Nobbies Centre, a marine attraction where
you can uncover the secrets of the Southern Seas with
interactive displays allowing you to intermingle with seals,
sharks and dolphins that abound in these waters.
I did say that it was a world of contrasts, so don't forget the
Phillip Island Chocolate Factory in your itinerary, where you
can buy the delectable hand-made chocolates made on the Island.
Take a spectacular sunrise balloon ride over the Yarra Valley,
one of Victoria's beautiful winery regions. Home to 90
vineyards, surrounded by mountains you fly for approximately an
hour over the early morning vineyards before ending your
experience with a sumptuous champagne breakfast.
Café culture abounds in St Kilda and you will want to browse
this fashionable bayside suburb of Melbourne with its diverse
range of shops and eating venues. Don't forget the Luna Park
amusement park built in 1912, complete with its wooden roller
coaster and other historic rides.
For the sports fans amongst you there is the very popular
Sports Lovers Tour. Billed as city sightseeing with a difference
you will explore the history and excitement of sporting
Melbourne. Whichever sport is your particular favourite, be it
tennis, cricket, rugby or football, find yourself sitting in the
coaches' box, imagining filing that important media story in the
media facilities or smelling the liniment in the changing rooms!
For dinner with a difference, the Colonial tram car dinner is
perfect! 1920's splendour, but with modern day facilities so
that not even a crystal glass quivers in your cosy, colonial
period dining car. One way glass ensures privacy while
traditional silver and white linen don the tables. This is one
train ride you won't forget in a hurry and booking is a must
with the restaurant selling out weeks in advance.
Hop on the City Circle Tram ride for a free central Melbourne
tour. Steeped in old world charm, these 1920's brown and gold
liveried tram cars are an appealing way to discover the city
centre sights. The conductor on board provides valuable
knowledge about the tourist attractions you might wish to see.
Spectacular Rhododendrons greet you as you head to The
Dandenongs for the Spring flowering. Less than an hours drive
from Melbourne, lies this rich hillside area which grows all
manner of good things to eat, drink and appreciate, such as the
display of Spring bulbs, Devonshire Cream teas and the Puffing
Billy Steam Train that gently meanders its way through the
beautiful landscape.
I think you will agree that luxury Australia travel is what you
make of it. The luxury is in the doing!
I invite you to use these ideas to make the most of your luxury
Australia travel and Melbourne.
