In my previous post I covered some of the things you may consider when visiting Melbourne. In this post I will cover some of the days tours you could undertake while visiting Melbourne.

You can either hire a car or find a local travel company that runs tours to attractions easily accessed from Melbourne.

Phillip Island Nature Park 

Phillip Island Nature Park where you can go and see the fairy penguins. Phillip Island is a 90 minute drive east of Melbourne. Sunset is the time to experience the penguin parade. The park has recently added three exciting ways to view the penguins. The have the Penguins plus viewing platform, the Penguin Sky Box and the Ultimate Penguin Experience where an experienced ranger provides commentary while you view the penguins with night vision technology.

The Goldfields Region

This region is an easy drive north west of Melbourne. Here you will step back in time to discover a rich history. The discovery of gold in Victoria’s central region of 150 ago first triggered a gold rush. You can visit Sovereign Hill, a former gold mining site to get a taste of life in the 1850 and 1860s. Sovereign Hill is an outdoor museum that faithfully recreates the gold rush era. You will think you have used a time machine. The region also has many outstanding galleries and gardens where you can relax and take time out from a busy schedule.
