I recently traveled to Melbourne and decided to pay a visit to the Beautiful Rippon Lea Estate. What a wonderful surprise. This is one of those hidden gems for anyone who loves beautiful old Victorian buildings The grounds are massive and you could easily spend a day getting lost. The tour is very informative and covers all the periods of the mansion from Victorian to the 1940's period. Most of the furniture is original to the building which is wonderful to see and the tours are small groups and very intimate. The staff were very passionate about the history of the building too which was very helpful. A stunning place and definately worth a visit. They also have outdoor movies and a Miss Fisher exhibition coming up if you are a fan of the series and books. There is a cafe or take a picnic by the lake.

The garden will appeal to rose lovers as well as anyone that loves colour or the sweet smells from the flowers. The rose beds take different shapes with the name of the rose placed on bricks by them. Located adjacent to the Werribee Park Mansion makes this a a double delight to visit, especially as entry is free to both gardens.

St Kilda Pier is a Melbourne landmark and has traditionally been one of Melbourne's most popular tourist attractions. Providing panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, the pier is a popular destination for strolling, cycling, in-line skating and fishing. St Kilda's Little Penguin colony is well-known for making the breakwater its home, and is a popular tourist attraction. You can view the Little Penguins from the viewing platform at St Kilda Pier or by charter boat. St Kilda Pier has safe wheelchair access, lighting, handrails, drinking fountains, toilets, barbeques and a picnic and playground area. Only 5km from Melbourne CBD, St Kilda is well serviced by public transport. Take the tram from the heart of the city. Alternatively, car parking is available in the vicinity of the foreshore.
