St Mary of the Angels Basilica on Yarra Street is an impressive major landmark in the city. The stone building is hard to miss due to it being the tallest in the city. The interior is equally impressive.

This National Trust homestead is magnificent, built in 1855 from an imported “kit” as all the builders had gone to the goldfield areas. Numerous huge trees and a very extensive garden. Stables with a couple of vintage cars. Excellent tour thanks to volunteer Caitlin.

We went there in the afternoon but the weather was not kind to us. However, me and the kids enjoyed our time there. The view is great, there are many cafes and restaurants around the gardens. There is also bollards which can come alive if you install their apps.

Amazing aboriginal cultural experience by Anthony and the cafe owner who made traditional delicious lemon myrtle scones for our morning tea- fantastic experience to take our overseas guests. They learnt about tools, culture, land, stories, listened to the didgeridoo, learnt how to throw a boomerang and met and fed native animals - emus, kangaroo and wallabies. Super interactive, very accommodating and so friendly. Loved it and nightly recommendation it to everyone.

What an awesome area this is. Picturesque views abound. From boats in the harbour to the glistening sea, to the helicopter rides. Everything about this place is nice. Only downside was when we ventured in to town we felt uncomfortable with the locals staring at us. But we had no bother during our stay here.

Visited the silos on 28th March 2020, as the demolition had started. Revisited 13th May 2020. The silos are now rubble. Five star review as they were great while they were there, but even Rone (the artist) knew the artwork might not be there forever.
