Melbourne
Gourmet Dining
Dining out is an obsession in Melbourne. It means restaurants bursting with experimental
fervour, serving up intriguing Asian-inspired dishes, Mod Oz creations and everything in
between. Coffee, cocktails and even beer get the same top-class treatment.
Architecture
Federation Sq may be the contemporary showpiece, but downtown Melbourne's architec-
ture spans the centuries, from Docklands' growing community of city-dwellers to Mel-
bourne's gold-rush-era buildings and arcades.
Kayaking the Yarra
Drifting down the winding Yarra River under your own (paddling) steam, you'll take in the
best of the Melbourne skyline, including the 88-storey Eureka Tower, without the crowds
jostling around you.
