Anglesea Melbourne

My visit to Melbourne showed me a diverse culture, amazing wildlife, and scenic views of the coasts in one city. The laidback attitude of the people and the unique experiences only in Melbourne all added to make my first Melbourne trip my best trip so far. 

I visited in winter for snow and the cold weather. Oh, I was enjoying every minute of it.

Lake Mountain Alpine Resort

We just walked around Melbourne CBD and ventured on tour packages as joiners since commuting to the places we wanted to visit is not an option. We either drive on our own or join a tour.

Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park

The best option for us was to visit the beautiful places listed below on a tour shuttle with fellow tourists and our own group tour guide and driver.

Go cross-country skiing on the slopes and enjoy the powdery snow at Lake Mountain Alpine Resort in Marysville. You can just walk around or do other snow activities like toboganning and snowshoeing.

AUSTRALIA TRIP NOTES

Keep left. When you walk on a busy footpath, stairs, escalator, and pretty much everywhere else, keep left. Their steering wheels are on the right side, so cars also keep left on the road.

Navigate easily around Sydney by subway, bus, or ferry by downloading the Opal app. Use the app‘s Trip Planner for real-time trip schedules from your location.

Sydney train
Chillin’ inside a train in Sydney.

On Sundays, your Opal card will only be charged a maximum of AUD2.80 for traveling the whole day through the metro, train, bus, ferry and light rail services. See updated Opal benefits here.

OPAL Card Cap Sunday
Screenshots of my Travel Activity on the Sunday I was in Sydney. Amazing!

We just walked around Melbourne CBD from the Airport Sky Bus station at Southern Cross Station to Nomads Hostel to Queen Victoria Market to as far as Fitzroy Gardens along Wellington Parade and the Federation Square along Flinders Street. Google Maps is reliable and helps a lot.

Melbourne CBD is walkable so I didn’t purchase any transportation card. Well, one of the reasons also is that I booked the tour packages listed below for my Melbourne trips. Why? Commuting is not an option so you either drive or join a tour. The latter is more convenient and cheaper for me.

Sydney Train Station
Check boards like these on train stations to make sure the train you are boarding will stop at your intended destination.

We already paid for our air fare, accommodation, and tour package before we traveled for this trip. See complete list below. Click each highlighted item to book or know the details.

  • Google Maps for real time navigation would be very useful.
  • They greet with “Hi! How’s it goin’?”, “Hi! How are you?”, and the likes.
  • Everyone talks to you with so much enthusiasm. (Quite a culture shock for me!)
  • Trams in Melbourne pass where pedestrians and cars pass.
  • Walk around. It’s clean everywhere.
  • Sydney and Melbourne are two completely different cities that you will enjoy! 🙂
