B.A.T.S VLOGS Beautiful park with good amenities. Enjoyed the time here with kids

L Dilley A lovely park (no bikes allowed) with a tennis court, lawn bowling facility and playground. Plenty of places to sit in the shade or sun. If you visit in the evening you will be sure to find some cheeky possums. Dog friendly!

Dhana Ganeshpuri Observatory Gate Lodge is at the Entrance of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. Its the Meeting Place for Walking Tours and where Friends of the Botanical Gardens gather.

Andreas Ludwig Stunning park and lake. Lots of space to exercise, relax, walk the dog or just enjoy the news and the weather. My dog and I had some hours to kill, waiting for my wife, and used the time to walk around the lake. Wonderful views, rest areas and views. Very happy 2 hours!

Manini Dhar It is a lovely place to visit if you are located close to the city, particularly on a sunny day. The sunset views are to die for, and one can also see a beautiful view of the city skyline. The pier has been recently renovated and is now open from the morning till 5 PM. There are ample places to sit, few cafes nearby to enjoy a cup of hot coffee and has nice walking tracks too. Summers are quite crowded. The best part about this pier is one can see little penguins near the rocks by the pier, particularly during sunset. It is advisable to keep silence near the rocks so as to not disturb the penguins while clicking their photos.

amit kapuria 5 Stars – A Truly Divine Experience ISKCON Melbourne is a spiritual gem in the heart of the city. The temple is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and filled with divine energy. The deities are stunning and the daily aartis and kirtans uplift the soul. The devotees are welcoming and always ready to help newcomers feel at home. The Sunday Feast is a highlight – delicious vegetarian food served with love, accompanied by inspiring talks and joyous chanting. It’s more than just a place of worship; it’s a community that promotes peace, compassion, and devotion. Highly recommended for anyone seeking spiritual growth, cultural connection, or just a peaceful break from daily life.

Matt Very interesting place if it takes your fancy. Lots of historical art and pieces to modern day. Best of all it’s free entry! Just a heads up it does get extremely hot inside and be careful of bag size. Backpacks are not allowed inside however you can check them for free.
