Up. Up. And Away. Over Melbourne.

Brilliant Melbourne morning. Soaring across the Catani Gardens in St Kilda.  Watch you don't bump into a pelican up there.

And The Wheel Spins Round and Round

It's a balmy night. Wander along the Yarra river from Federation Square, look back at the city and see her shimmy. Jump on the Ferris Wheel as it spins round and round. All is well with the world.

Melbourne's Best Green Bits (Parks and Gardens)

For those days when the buzz of the city becomes less of a thrill and more of an irritation, you’ll need a few ‘green’ spots to help recharge. Luckily Melbourne has quite a selection. So grab a newspaper and a takeaway latte, and plonk yourself on something green. And breathe deeply.

Albert Park Lake

This man made lake is probably most famous for being the site of the contentious Grand Prix. Opponents believe that the vast lake - a sanctuary for an assortment of wildlife as well as many frazzled humans - shouldn’t be traumatized by the ‘whirring’ of racing cars and the stench of burning rubber. During the non-Grand Prix months you’ll be able to sit under a shady tree and watch the majestic swans glide by. Carousal, a stylish, casual café perched on the eastern edge of the 4.7km walking track, serves breaky, light lunches and a not too shabby coffee.
