Explore Your Own Backyard

The way we travel has changed for the foreseeable future (maybe even forever!). Now, more than ever, we as travellers are hungry to reconnect with that feeling of awe and discovery that exploring brings — even if it means adventuring into our own backyard. As Australians, we know we have it made when it comes to good weather, beautiful landscapes, and unmatched cultural heritage. And some of the best of it is right here in Victoria. 

At Explore Australia, while we love heading out for day trips in the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsula, there’s heaps of things that we love to do in the city centre. 

Here’s some of our most favourite spots to explore around town, with easy (and fun!) ways to support them most days of the week. Hidden treasures are around every turn, even at the attractions that make Melbourne who we are.
 

Once you’ve gotten your fix of city fun, let us at Explore Australia take you on day trips to and from Melbourne to the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsula, where we visit some of the best wineries and breweries on private and small-group tours with all-inclusive tastings and eats.

Art & Indigenous Culture

Presgrave Place

This funky laneway may be short, but there’s heaps of art to look at it: framed gallery-style on the brick walls, and with installations overhead. Go in search of street art, stay for strong coffee and stronger cocktails. Situated in our fashion precinct, this whole stretch captures Melbourne’s style and spirit.

How to get there

Scar Tree Walk 

This important Aboriginal site is best experienced with the help of an experience guide from the Koorie Heritage Trust. Along the way, expect to find art, historical sites, and more.
