Kirsty Marie Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 My partner and myself will be arriving in Melbourne at the end of September and we are planning on spending a few weeks relaxing before we begin looking for work. I have NEVER been abroad before and so I am quite anxious! Suggestions on things to do when we arrive? Would love to attend some music events..

starlight7 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 http://www.visitvictoria.com/Events/Music?page=7&ps=20 Check that out. A lot depends on how much you have to spend because there are some great concerts but some of them cost a bit. There's heaps to do round Melbourne as you will no doubt find out. A lot of the Yarra Valley wineries have musical events in Summer, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petkula73 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I have NEVER been abroad before and so I am quite anxious! . Gulp! As a first place to visit abroad, Melbourne is one of the easiest ones for a British person. My suggestion is hire a car and go out and see Victoria. It's wonderful. Great Ocean Road, Mornington Peninsular, Philip Island, Wilsons Prom, Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges. All within a day trip. Have a look in Time Out to see specfically what's on. You're coming at the right time of year too. You'll think "hmmm, this is nice and warm" when it's 20C, then it just gets warmer and sunnier for the next four to five months.

Freckleface Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If you like music, food and lovely scenery you might enjoy the Puffy Billy which combines all three. They do both lunch and dinner trips and it's something a little bit different. http://puffingbilly.com.au/en/events-and-dining/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
