Answer to your question
ReplyDeleteI would like to visit these places in Melbourne -
the Peninsula Hot Springs - to enjoy the thermal spa
and
to Yarra Valley Wineyard - for wine
and
on Loch Ard Gorge beach - to see nature's beauty
Wonderful post and interesting videos that make me feel that
ReplyDeleteMelbourne invites the eternal romantic in me to hold hands with my beloved and go see the Twelve Apostles .Go on long drives on the great ocean road. In the middle of nowhere in a vineyard spread a table and enjoy a meal and a glass of wine with my dear one. Enjoy the sunsets holding hands and do lots of shopping at the Queen Victoria Market and see all the graffiti being created at the hosier lane.
Great Post and interesting videos watching them I am sure to visit Sovereign Hill for spending some time in the era gone by. The lure of gold and panning for some nuggets is a temptation that is too much to resist. After I have found the gold I am bound to celebrate it with some wine so I will visit the vineyards and enjoy some great wine from the Yarra region .Visit the Pannys Phillip Island Chocolate Factory and have my fill with this yummy delight.

Great post. After watching all the videos I would like to visit 'Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm'.
ReplyDeleteI'm fond of strawberries and I have a special liking towards farms cause I love the silence and the fresh air. The green scenery is also breathtaking. So I fall for that place.
The Great barrier reef, what else? There's only one word to describe it completely, - Mesmerising. What more would one want if one gets to see the great barrier reef, the corals and the numerous creature our oceans have hidden away from us still preserving them for us. Ah, the sights make me yearn for a tour to Australia, atleast once in a lifetime.

I am a kind of person who loves to live every second lively. And Melbourne is the most liveable city. My friends who work in Australia always say its the best place to live and work on this planet. So I always had that longing to visit the country.
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Tea, and since Melbourne is known for Tea culture, I would love to have Afternoon tea at Murchie's Tea.. I love those Whale watching and would love to watch a movie in the extremely high resolution and the enormous screen of IMAX Victoria and treat my ears with the powerful sound. Finally, I would love to experience the land-and-sea tour by the Victoria Hippo Tours and Adrena LINE Zipline Adventure

Hi,
ReplyDeleteMelbourne truly spoils us for choice! There are so many things that Melbourne has to offer ranging from fashion, art and history, that it is difficult to pick one!However I would love to visit
Sunny Ridge strawberry farm, to see how the fresh strawberries are grown!
Next, it would be great to seethe third biggest tourist attraction in Australia,the penguin parade. Adorable little penguins run from sea to their burrows at Summerland beach!
Next, how can i forget the Eureka Skydeck! Cant stop imagining the spectacular view from such a height!THE EDGE,a glass cube which slides out from the building, giving you an illusion of no floor being there under your feet!
Well next, for the fashionista inside me, I would love to visit Queen Victoria Market! Have a quick snack inside and spend the whole day splurging!:)
Chocolate is heavenly, isnt it? How about a chocolate fountain and miniature towns made of chocolate at Panny's Chocolate Factory? Sounds amazing, isnt it?
And last but not the least, a HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE! The jaw dropping views from hundreds of kms above ground, admist the clouds!:)
All the best for the contest :-)
ReplyDeleteAs for answering your question, I would love to visit the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Being a cricket enthusiast, I don’t think I would getter a better thrill in Australia than watching a Boxing Day Test Match live at the MCG. The Australian cricket fans are very hostile towards opposition players but are the first to appreciate a good player. I would want to sit amongst the 100,000 fans and cheer for my team. It would be even better if I got a seat next to Anushka Sharma so that if Virat Kohli scores a century and blows a kiss at her again, I would be on TV :-D
