Altona Miniature Railway
Dr. Ramakant Rana Altona Miniature Railway is an absolute gem for families and train enthusiasts alike! The volunteer-run hobby club offers a delightful experience with its miniature train rides, perfect for both kids and adults who are young at heart. The beautifully maintained scaled diesel and steam engines provide a charming ride along the 1.5-kilometre track, surrounded by a welcoming and scenic environment. The passion and dedication of the volunteers shine through, making the experience even more special. Visiting on the third Sunday of the month is a treat, and it’s a fantastic way to spend a few hours with loved ones. The affordable prices and friendly atmosphere make it even better. Highly recommend this unique and nostalgic outing!

Living Legends
Dale Proposch A wonderful visit at Living Legends. Did a private tour and met some beautiful horses (so loved and cared for). Ate lots of yummy food and walked the halls of the period homestead from the 1800s. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Isabella Williams Memorial Reserve
Richard Roberts Very good park. Great variety for a wide range of ages. There are undercover tables and BBQs too. As well as some public toilets which are about as clean as youd imagine. Theres a big grass area and lots of car parks as well as a full size basketball court. Its also accessible from the path near the creek

Broadmeadows Valley Park
John Locke A beautiful park with a shallow river, appealing scenery of nature, cool winds and lovely animals. An kangaroo runs, a snake hides in the forest, some lizards dwell, birds sing, ducks swim, dogs walk and butterflies and bees fly by the flowers. The ants are busy. I can’t capture them all in photos. There is a trail for multiple uses: walking, running, walking the dogs and cycling. So, walk carefully and listen to the sounds of movement. I think the paved flat path is too narrow for both riding bikes and jogging at the same time. The trees and tall grass block the front view. Accidents can happen. Better apply insect repellent on your skin and clothes because flies fly with a high speed to approach food, drinks and people. Sunscreen is important when the UV level is high.

Gellibrand Hill Summit

Organ Pipes National Park
Will Russell Its definitely worth a visit to see 400 million years old volcanic lava formations so close to Melbourne, but be prepared for some uphill walking and to finish by 4:30 as the park closes then.

Old Melbourne Gaol
Chang Guan It’s a fantastic experience in the Gaol especially the City Watch House tour. You get to experience being arrested and locked in one of those cells in the Watch House which is just next to the Gaol. As its closure (1994 I reckon) is relatively recent comparing to the Gaol which is basically operated during the Gold Rush, you get to feel the true jail vibe. The Gaol itself has a lot of history and artifacts, it presents stories of iconic prisoners and their historical backgrounds. And if you’re a big fan of Ned Kelly, it can be a brilliant place for his stories.

Cooks Cottage
Daniel Cooks’ Cottage is such a fascinating stop within the stunning Fitzroy Gardens – one of those hidden gems that makes a stroll through the park even more special. Originally built in Yorkshire, England in 1755 by the parents of Captain James Cook, this little cottage has quite the story. Although Captain Cook never actually lived there, the connection to his family was strong enough for Sir Russell Grimwade to go to incredible lengths to bring it to Melbourne in 1934. Every single brick was carefully numbered, packed into barrels, and shipped across the globe – even the ivy came with it! It’s a quirky slice of history nestled among beautiful gardens, and a great way to learn about early colonial ties between England and Australia. Just one of many reasons to explore Fitzroy Gardens – there’s so much more than just green space here!
