We have visited this park a few times recently on our visits to Melbourne to see our toddler grandson. It's a perfect park for all ages - two lovely playgrounds for little; two skateboard arenas, one small one for beginning children; plenty of grass and trees for picnics; tennis and basketball courts; and plenty of paths for prams and people with canes and walkers.

Barkly Gardens were opened in 1867, making it one of the earliest gardens in Melbourne -- it is the only residential garden square in Richmond, although they are not uncommon in London, England. The gardens are quiet and elegant and amazingly they are only a few hundred yards (meters) from busy Swan St. Dogs are welcome, on-leash and off-leash. The BBQs are popular with families, as is the newly-renovated playground area. Barkly Gardens are a blessing in this heavily built-up area, and are a marvelous resource for strollers and families.

Great suburb for a slow wander down and into some cool little shops mixed in with some great old heritage buildings and a mixture of people and styles..
4. Melbourne Cricket Ground

The biggest cricketing battle of the summer starts on Boxing Day, when Australia traditionally takes on the overseas visitors at the MCG.. For a batsman, facing an express pace bowler hurling a cricket ball at over 100 miles per hour (145 kms/hr) takes some courage. This year, the opponents are Black Caps (New Zealand). No-one doubts their courage, but on the bumpy Australian wickets, they may not quite have tthe right technique. For Australian cricketers, wearing the Baggy Green cap is the highest honour. Australia is on the comeback trail after a rough patch, it's bad luck that the Black Caps that they have caught the Aussies at their best. See a game at the MCG if you can, there's still viewing space to be had.

As we’re backpacking everything was out of our price range but there were SO many things I would buy if money wasn’t an issue! Gorgeous jewellery in particular. We were in Fitzroy which is an awesome part of town with lots going on. Would recommend building this into a day out in Fitzroy because it doesn’t take all that long to get round so you could go for brunch after or something. Worth taking the time to visit though! :)

Any Melburnian will tell you that Victoria Street is the prime place to go for good Vietnamese food plus a range of other Asian cuisines. It's a fairly gritty street but it rarely disappoints in my experience. There are some fantastic and generally very reasonably priced restaurants on this strip. In addition, there's lots of life and colour here. An iconic area.

Came here quite a few times - lots of shops selling furniture and household stuff such as Ikea, Adair’s, Bed Bath and table, etc. There is also a Kmart that sells many different types of items including clothes, household wares and children’s toys. Coles supermarket is also located here. Coles and Kmart close late everyday and is so convenient. Just a short 20 minutes drive from Melbourne CBD area and very close by Richmond if you fancy some authentic Vietnamese food.
