Cruise Arrivals Guide

MELBOURNE

Hugging the base of the Australian east coast, Victoria is Australia’s second-smallest state, covering 227,600 square kilometres – roughly the size of the British Isles. Packed into such a compact area is a wealth of diverse landscapes, from national parks teeming with wildlife to wineries, lakes and mountains. Best of all, many of Victoria’s unique and varied attractions are easily accessible as day trips from Melbourne. Victoria’s capital, Melbourne, is located around the shores of Port Phillip Bay. Today a city of over 4 million people, Melbourne was established on the banks of the Yarra River in 1835. Renowned for its sense of style and elegance, Melbourne boasts world-class festivals and events, Australia’s best shopping; a lively passion for eating and drinking, and a flourishing passion for the arts. With a huge variety of landscapes, a welcoming capital city, and a decidedly mild climate, Victoria can’t fail to impress... in fact you’ll love every piece of it!Image (above): John Gollings

Melbourne’s food and wine scene is constantly evolving with new cafés, bars and restaurants opening in the city and its surrounding precincts on a weekly basis. Old dining stalwarts continue to raise the bar with high quality culinary experiences while new purveyors of food and wine challenge what, where and how people eat on a daily basis.

Café CultureItalian heritage is a strong influence in Melbourne and Melburnians are passionate about coffee. You can find an expertly brewed coffee from one of the many great inner-city cafés. Head to Degraves Street or venture into one of the adjacent laneways and arcades to get a decent caffeine fix. Pelligrini’s Espresso Bar on Bourke Street or Brunetti in City Square are local institutions. For a cosy, bookish café experience settle in at Mr Tulk, on the sunny side of the State Library of Victoria.

Multicultural DiningWhile Mediterranean and French influenced restaurants tend to be scattered around the city, for all the colours, variety and delicious flavours of Asia, take a stroll through Chinatown in Little Bourke Street. Savour award-winning delicacies at the Flower Drum, have yum cha at the Shark Fin Inn or try innovative south-east Asian influenced food at Gingerboy. If you have your heart set on tapas, many options are now available, from the famous MoVida ventures – in Hosier Lane and 500 Bourke Street – to smaller venues like Mamasita in Collins Street and taco trucks parked all around town.

Fine DiningThe appreciation for fine dining continues with Andrew McConnell’s latest venture, Moon Under Water, on Gertrude Street providing high-end dining experiences.

Melbourne’s gorgeous helping of spring, summer, autumn and winter make it a gardener’s joy. So it’s no surprise to see so much space in and around the city centre dedicated to some of the most beautiful and innovative parks and gardens in the land.

Royal Botanic GardensTop of the list with historic trees, gracious plantings and undulating lawns - it’s heaven on earth, especially for the botanically minded. The incredible variety of native and imported specimens is as fascinating as it is beautiful.

Fitzroy Gardens Just east of the CBD are the Fitzroy Gardens, popular among picnickers, sightseers and photographers - and no wonder. Historic buildings nestle among the trees, belying the fact that a bustling metropolis is only a block away. Here you can escape the hustle and bustle without having to leave the city at all.

Birrarung Marr This is Melbourne remember, so the grace of the bygone era is wonderfully complemented by the contemporary. The latest editions to Melbourne’s garden landscape are Birrarung Marr - a large, open public space adjacent to the Yarra River, distinctive for its native plantings and linear design - and the water sensitive public spaces of the Docklands district - which have the added bonus of being filled with incredible works of urban art.
