Went with a group of friends to the Fitzroy location and played the 4 rooms in one night!! It was great to see 4 rooms incorporating with each other, yet all different in their own way. Had a great time there, the game master we had was fantastic! :) Grim Finale was a highlight. Highly recommend!!

Merri Creek Trail

Reviewed By platypus150 - Melbourne, Australia

A sunny day and a pleasant walk around the Clifton Hill area. I do like how the bridges allow entry and exit from the Trail enabling people to build the right sized adventure. I love the bridge at Rushall railway station where the Capital City Trail joins the Merri Creek one.

Yarra Bend Park

Yarra Bend Park is Melbourne's largest natural bushland park. Enjoy the leafy grounds and abundant wildlife while strolling or biking its many trails. Stop for a picnic, walk your dog or play a round of golf. Hire a canoe at historic Studley Park Boathouse, paddle upstream, and spot flying foxes. Explore the wild river escarpments, open woodlands, formal parklands and sports fields of Yarra Bend Park. Set out on the Dights Falls Walk and discover the site of a former asylum, the river red gum dominated landscape of Galatea Point, Deep Rock and of course, the iconic Dights Falls. Arguably the park's best known feature, the artificial weir was built in the 1840s to provide water to the Ceres Flour Mill, one of the first in Victoria.

Took a family picnic to Bellbird picnic area by the river on Christmas Day. Bats were much more active than usual during the day, but at 38 degrees I'm not surprised. I love this place, especially at dusk when they all fly. Magical.

Edinburgh gardens

Reviewed By 327SueT327 - Canberra, Australia

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.
