Summary
Weather for Melbourne & Surrounds

Synonymous with food, fashion and creativity, Melbourne is one of the most multicultural cities in Australia. Far from simply being a business centre, Melbourne CBD is packed full of boutique stores, galleries and restaurants.

Wander through art galleries, tour historic sites, take a cruise along the river, or discover indigenous displays at Melbourne Museum. A food and shopping hub, attractions include the boutiques of Chapel Street & bargain-hunting in Queen Victoria Market.

Although it's usually a muddy brown and it's not as clean as the city would like, the Yarra River is an indispensible part of Melbourne City. Southbank is home to a dazzling array of fine restaurants, as well as the famous Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex. Climb aboard a ferry from Southbank and enjoy a relaxing cruise along the waterway.

Only 5 minutes from the CBD, on the banks of the twinkling Yarra, is Docklands - NewQuay, the place Melbournians come to soak up the picturesque harbour views of their city.
