M47***95:“I went to the museum on a whim. The ticket purchasing experience was excellent, as you could use the tickets as you went, and the price was better than at the venue. The museum isn't large, but the exhibits are well-designed, with a great combination of audiovisual equipment. In the Aboriginal exhibition area, each exhibit has a text description, pictures, and videos showing how it's used and what it's like to experience life. These made it easier to understand the purpose of the exhibits and learn more about Aboriginal life. There were also various props for experiencing the exhibits. I happened to catch an insect dance activity when I went, and a large group of children were happily singing and dancing in the lobby on the first floor.”
Open today at 12:00-21:00 (admission ends at 20:30)
Carol蔷薇雨露:“After a 10-year absence, I accompanied my friends to the 88th floor of Melbourne's Eureka! 🌈
I went to the restaurant on the 89th floor once in the middle. It seems to be my third time here [Deyi] There is a new project downstairs VR”
Mandadadada:“Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.”
爱笑的宝哥:“With nine-year-old children who love painting to enjoy the works of French Impressionist painters more than 100 years ago, let children get edified in the paintings, ear-stained, record their favorite works with the camera, and continue to enjoy after returning home. This is the satisfaction that art brings to us. It can last a long time.”
Open today at 10:00-17:00 (admission ends at 15:30)
unoimgr8st:“We had a great time at LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Melbourne! It’s vibrant, fun, and packed with interactive zones perfect for kids aged 3–10. Highlights include the LEGO Melbourne cityscape, Kingdom Quest ride, Merlin’s Apprentice, 4D Cinema, and build zones like LEGO Racers. It’s a mix of creativity, play, and hands-on learning.One-time tickets are a bit pricey, especially for families, but the annual pass offers excellent value with unlimited visits and access to other attractions, plus discounts on food and extras. Ideal for first-time visitors, though repeat trips are best with a pass. Weekends get busy, and some build areas can run low on bricks, but overall it’s a well-run, imaginative space that kids love.We give it 4 out of 5 stars - a fantastic day out with plenty of LEGO magic!”
iQOO🐮:“The Puffing Billy steam train is really great! Sitting in the retro carriage, listening to the whistle, passing through dense forests and valleys. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and you can stick your feet out of the window and wave and interact with the enthusiastic residents. It feels like being in a fairy tale world. This unique journey makes people forget their troubles and is extremely comfortable.”
我家宝贝最疼爱的猪:“The competition was very exciting. The price of the tickets was not much different from that sold on the Australian official website. Many of the matches were very exciting. I was very happy to be able to watch this competition, especially the preliminaries of the two men's and women's singles champions. I was really lucky hahahaha”

I found this Ms Jackson Restaurant & Bar on a search. I liked it at first sight. I drove 20 kilometers to check in and was not disappointed. I can say that I was amazed by the taste~
burrata 26🔪
Raw tomatoes + basil + burrata with a strong milky flavor = refreshing and delicious
🥩Scotch Fillet65🔪 (discount on Thursdays) The steak is visibly tender and tasty, and it melts in your mouth with the soul sauce. This is their signature dish. I think since I'm here, I must try it👍
House Made Focaccia 8🔪
You can tell from the picture that it is chewy and airy, and the more you chew, the more delicious it is~
🦑Calamari 34🔪
The squid rings tasted good or bad. Theirs was fried a little crispier, and the squid was smaller and more flavorful
🍷 SHIRAZ The house red wine is so smooth that I can really sit here and drink it all night. The overall atmosphere is very suitable for a drink 🍷 atmosphere. The soft lighting is suitable for dating 🉑. And the waiters are as beautiful as models!

Tina 天儿:“I had eaten pickled fish head rice noodles in Sydney before, and I couldn't forget it. After returning to Melbourne, I asked local friends and found this Mala restaurant. It opened at 11:30 am. People were waiting at the door at 11:15, and all the tables were full before 12 o'clock.
I still ordered pickled fish head rice noodles, which tasted very good. The fish head was a little dry due to the frying, but it didn't affect the taste. After the meal, the store also gave me coffee. With such popularity, I have to come again for the next meal!”
elsashen0529:“Phoenix Soars Kitchen, Chaozhou Cantonese restaurant, there are so many people queuing here, it is indeed a very popular Chinese restaurant, fortunately my friend has already booked a seat, the roast meat here is delicious, finally I can eat vegetables, this is really good”
Cecilia W:“
I have lived in Melbourne for a month and I have had enough of white people's food. How can Beijingers not crave roast duck and Beijing home-cooked dishes? ! I am so happy to eat authentic roast duck in Melbourne🦆😭🥳
Jixiang Roast Duck Spring Pancake has a whole and half roast duck set meal. The whole duck is served on the table, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just like the taste and taste in China👍. It is really fragrant with hot spring pancakes, cucumbers, scallions, and honey roast duck sauce. The duck soup for roast duck is also full of milk🥣. The chef👨🍳 has 30 years of experience in Quanjude~
I ordered spring pancakes, braised pork elbow (fat and lean) and stir-fried vegetables. Rolling them together is a nostalgia for my hometown. I didn't expect to eat authentic spring pancakes here🤔
This restaurant does not charge for weekends, the service is very thoughtful, and there is also FREE 🆓 corn porridge to drink until you are full and warm your stomach and considerate ❤️ It is worth driving 18 kilometers to eat here~

travelererer:“Chinese Wok is a family-style restaurant that is friendly to the public. Their dishes are basically very common, and the taste is generally neither good nor bad. The average cost per person is less than 100 yuan, which is a super cost-effective restaurant.”
