What to do and see in Central Business District, Victoria: The Best Food & Drink

July 19, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Lovely, laid-back Melbourne has something for everyone: family fare, local and international art, haute boutiques, multicultural dining, Australian and Aboriginal history, spectator sports, and pulsing, swanky nightlife. Cruise on the free City Circle Tram loop to check out unique attractions like the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Healesville Sanctuary, which buzzes with local animal species.

Teepee Tours

Andrew and Adam deliver a really social, relaxed and anti-touristy road trip of the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne, as well as fun days out at the Yarra Valley Wineries. We will surf for 2 hours, see koalas, kangaroos and native Birds, the twelve apostles, loch and gorge and camp in our Native American Teepee. We will relax by the campfire by the beach under the stars and play games, instruments and get the best out of everyone. Rather than give you boring facts about this beautiful drive, we will be making you laugh, sharing stories and music and getting to know the real you. We HATE tours, so we want this to feel more like a road trip with your mates. Bring all the drinks you want!
