S’élevant à près de 300 mètres d’altitude, Eureka Skydeck 88 est la plus haute plateforme d’observation publique de l’hémisphère Sud. Située au 88e étage de l’Eureka Tower, elle offre des vues plongeantes sur le centre de Melbourne, y compris le fleuve Yarra et Federation Square. Pour les amateurs de sensations fortes, l’attraction à ne pas manquer s’appelle The Edge, un cube en verre qui est progressivement éloigné du bâtiment, donnant l’impression d’être suspendu dans l’espace. Âmes sensibles, s’abstenir, mais c’est une expérience vraiment inoubliable.

Fondé en 1862, le zoo de Melbourne est le plus ancien d’Australie et le troisième plus ancien du monde. Il a énormément changé au fil des ans, remplaçant les vieilles cages et fosses à barreaux par des clôtures plus respectueuses des animaux. Le zoo est divisé en zones bioclimatiques utilisant l’immersion paysagère pour aider les animaux à s’acclimater à l’environnement australien, et est l’un des précurseurs du programme de reproduction en captivité du gorille des plaines. La maison des papillons, le parc des lions et l’espace des primates figurent parmi ses sections les plus populaires. En été, les locaux s’y rendent en masse pour assister aux sessions de jazz à la tombée de la nuit.
Brighton Beach is famous for one of Melbourne's most picturesque sights, the colorful row of "bathing boxes" that runs along its shore. These vividly decorated little sheds are basically privately owned changing rooms, but can sell for as much as a house in some parts of the city!

The beach is patrolled by surf lifesavers. Facilities include toilets, showers and all day parking.
