Moments to cherish, Moments to remember
That is what this beautiful world gives, every time we travel!!
The things which make any city lovable and livable is that the city has something to offer to people bearing different interests. This could be sports, fun activities, long driveways, wildlife, nature, art and culture. Any new city or country had a lot to offer, one gets vast experiences, knowledge about different culture,about a different world, distinct yet same individuals, language and much more that is why someone has rightly said
Travel is the only thing you buy, that makes you richer!!
and what best if you find all this in a single city. Yes, Melbourne is one such city which has everything to offer. It is one such destination made for people of varied interests.
And what makes Melbourne so special and unique are these places in it-

Great post! After reading your post & watching all the videos, I’d most like to visit the Dandenong Ranges for it’s scenic beauty, breathtaking view and cool breeze blowing through my hair. 😛 I’d give anything away for driving through the winding roads which are present throughout the ranges. I’d love to stay at one of the bed and breakfast cottages and go on frequent excursions in the forests with my camera which provides excellent views. And not to forget the famous ride in the Puffing Billy, a day reserved especially for that. To add to that, there are also several picnic spots for me and my friends to spend a fun-filled day and the ranges are a perfect spot for hiking and cycling.

Wonderful post and interesting videos that make me feel that
Melbourne invites the eternal romantic in me to hold hands with my beloved and go see the Twelve Apostles .Go on long drives on the great ocean road. In the middle of nowhere in a vineyard spread a table and enjoy a meal and a glass of wine with my dear one. Enjoy the sunsets holding hands and do lots of shopping at the Queen Victoria Market and see all the graffiti being created at the hosier lane.
Great Post and interesting videos watching them I am sure to visit Sovereign Hill for spending some time in the era gone by. The lure of gold and panning for some nuggets is a temptation that is too much to resist. After I have found the gold I am bound to celebrate it with some wine so I will visit the vineyards and enjoy some great wine from the Yarra region .Visit the Pannys Phillip Island Chocolate Factory and have my fill with this yummy delight.

I would like to visit the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) which is located in Yarra Park. Cricket has fancied me since childhood. I still remember those days when the elders in my neighbourhood used to start shouting and hunting for us the moment the cricket ball hit by me broke one of their window panes. Running away from them was even more exciting than playing cricket itself.
I used to follow every cricket match played by India religiously and used to analyse and discuss it with friends and siblings for days and months. Being such an enthusiastic fan of cricket, visiting one of the world’s largest cricket stadiums is one of my dreams.
The thought of being seated amongst 95,000 other fans of cricket and cheering the players itself sounds exciting to me. Such large cricket stadiums are one of the ways to explore how much the passion for cricket has penetrated among the people of the world. MCG is located in Yarra Park, which also has many other sporting fields. This would allow me to explore not just cricket, but also many other games.

After watching the videos of Rohan and Tanmay enjoying Melbourne, I am really feeling jealous of them and I would definitely love to visit the lovely places which they visited at least once in lifetime. Some of the amazing places which I MUST visit is listed below.
The one place which it caught my attention is “Seal Watching Cruise” which is just amazing and I would definitely love to visit the place once in a lifetime. The Seals are so cute to watch and lovely.
The next place which I really don’t want to miss going is Penguins of Philip Island where those penguins does the parade. Its so so cute to watch them parading. Amazing view and excellent.
Next one which I don’t want to miss 12 Apostles from the Sky . Wow! What a breath taking scenes and It was definitely one in a lifetime experience to visit that place and enjoy the nature to the fullest.
I would definitely want to visit the Eureka Skydeck which is at breath taking height and I would feel like I am on ‘Top of the World’ for sure. Watching the view from that height is one is a life time experience for sure. God! Please grant my wish to visit Melbourne at least once in my life.
I would not want to miss visiting Panny’s Amazing world of chocolate for that mouth watering chocolates and if allowed I would take a shower too in that 400 kg chocolate falls 🙂 Wow, and I would definitely like to drink the liquid chocolate too.
One last place which I don’t want to miss is “Amaze’n Things ” which is a wonderful theme park for some fun and entertainment with my family.

Traveling though the great ocean road, soaking up the freshness as the breeze ruffles my hair gets me in the mood to pack my bags for Melbourne.

What a lovely way to describe Melbourne! Loved reading your poems on each attraction.
Among the places in the video list, I would love to visit Sovereign Hill. This is because I love heritage and history and think to know a place properly we must know its history. And when I am getting the chance to experience a part of it, no doubt it will be my first choice when in Melbourne.
