INNER CITY
Love this city
With a jam-packed calendar of world-class events and hidden laneways harbouring enticing secrets, Melbourne is a city for all seasons
Advertisement
Apacked agenda of food, wine, sports and arts is your introduction to the best of Melbourne – from its creative, exciting city centre, to its buzzing neighbourhood hubs. It’s also the gateway to Victoria’s world-class wineries, natural springs, peninsulas, spectacular coastline and alpine villages.
From fashion festivals and high-octane sports, to one of the world’s biggest comedy festival, food and wine events and extraordinary art – what you get up to in Melbourne is limited only by the time and energy you have available. Cheer on world champions in world-class sporting arenas, discover world-first exhibitions in the arts precinct, and sample the creations of revered chefs in kitchens around the city. Make a week or a weekend of it and explore rooftop bars, riverside restaurants, eclectic boutiques and open-air laneway galleries. If you’re overwhelmed by the choices on offer, a guided tour can be a great way to experience the city’s highlights. Explore the evolving galleries that are Melbourne’s laneways on a Street Art Tour with a bonafide local artist (melbournestreettours.com), or join a Hidden Secrets tour and discover a side of Melbourne known only to locals (hiddensecretstours.com). Update your wardrobe on a Melbourne Shopping Experiences tour, where a style-savvy team will cast their expert eye over your look, and transport you straight to the best bargains and most sought after boutiques (melbourneshoppingexperiences.com.au), or see Melbourne through a different lens with Melbourne Sports Tours and head behind the scenes of some of Melbourne’s most iconic sporting venues (melbournesportstours.com.au).
FEDERATION SQUARE Federation (or ‘Fed’) Square is a modern piazza built on top of a working railway. Opposite iconic Flinders Street Station, it is made up of a series of interlocking
spaces and was heavily influenced by the idea of ‘Federation’, combining disparate parts to form a whole (fedsquare.com).
This thriving hub boasts shops, restaurants and cafes, plus over 2000 events per year including free concerts, film and cultural festivals, exhibitions and forums. This is where Melbourne comes together to celebrate major sporting events and cultural festivals, from World Cup soccer to food festivals and communal yoga classes. It’s also home to museums and art galleries including The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, where you’ll find Australian art from the Colonial period to present day (ngv.vic.gov.au), and champion of emerging artists, No Vacancy Project Space (no-vacancy.com.au).
SOUTHBANK A short stroll over the Princes Bridge (or a brief jaunt across the river in a water taxi) and you’re in Southbank. The gateway to Melbourne’s arts precinct, this stretch is heaven for art lovers, with many of the city’s major arts institutions within walking distance, including the Arts Centre and Hamer Hall (artscentremelbourne.com.au), the National Gallery of Victoria (ngv.vic.gov.au), and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (mso.com.au). It’s also a foodie’s nirvana with a range of options for long lunches or quick post theatre meal, including Modern Australian, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Mediterranean (southgatemelbourne.com.au).
EXPERIENCE CROWN Head south along the banks of the Yarra to Crown Entertainment Complex for more mouthwatering dining options, including Neil Perry’s awardwinning steakhouse Rockpool, No. 8 by John Lawson for the finest local and seasonal produce with a regional bent, or innovative Japanese at
Nobu. Take in a film at Village Crown, treat yourself to a day spa or try your luck at the casino (crownmelbourne.com.au).
COLLINS STREET PRECINCT The magnificent tree-lined boulevard at the eastern end of Collins Street is known as the ‘Paris end’, an uninterrupted stretch of designer shopping, exclusive jewellers, fine chocolatiers and private clubs, all housed in grand heritage buildings. Treat yourself with a little something from Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and Hermes in Collins Street (collinsstreet.com.au), or spend some time at Collins Place where you’ll find international retailers like Giorgio Armani side by side with local designers, plus gifts, homewares and awardwinning dining (collinsplace.com.au) DV

discover Docklands
Spend a weekend soaking up the attractions of this action-packed waterfront suburb, from family-friendly activities to restaurants, bars and shopping
Located on the Yarra’s southern bank, adjacent to the Docklands, South Wharf is a hub of shopping, dining and conference facilities. DFO South Wharf is guaranteed to satisfy bargain hunters. Home to 180 leading retailers specialising in fashion, footwear, children’s wear, handbags, jewellery and accessories – all at massively discounted prices – you’re sure to find what you’re looking for, with plenty of dining options to keep your energy levels up while you search (dfo.com.au/southwharf). Venture outside to South Wharf Promenade for a slow food experience on the waterfront. Choose from a variety of restaurants housed in and around the restored heritage cargo sheds that line the river (southwharfpromenade.com.au), or stroll to the The District Docklands for designer threads, jewellery and children’s fashion. Wander through this open-air shopping precinct, which combines discounted brands with the latest fashion, designer and specialty stores (thedistrictdocklands.com.au).
FOR ALL AGES Bring the whole family for a fun-filled day around the harbour. Catch a flight on the Melbourne Star observation wheel and take in spellbinding 360-degree views of Melbourne city, Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges (melbournestar.com), find your feet on the ice at the O’Brien Group Arena skating rink (obriengrouparena.com.au), or bump around in dodgem cars at Wonderland Junior (wonderlandjunior.com.au).
The District Docklands is a burgeoning lifestyle destination brimming with shopping and entertainment options. Go on a sensory journey with Dialogue in the Dark, interact with large scale artworks at Artvo, or get putting at GlowGolf where you can whet your whistle at possibly the world’s
smallest bar, licensed to serve just four people. Shoppers can get their fix of fashion labels from H&M to Cotton On, Bonds, Miniso and more (thedistrictdocklands.com.au).
WINE & DINE There’s a smorgasbord of dining options at Newquay, Victoria Harbour and Waterfront City, tucked beneath luxury apartments, lining the marina and scattered around the office buildings. Indulge in Chinese, Indian, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Thai, Greek, Italian, or modern Australian, choose artisanal baked goods and locally roasted coffee, or cool off with a gelato and saunter along the jetty as the sun sets. Catch up with friends over a bottle of wine while the boats bob about on the water or get in the mood for a big game at Marvel Stadium with a drink at the Woolshed Pub. New Quay is also home to an impressive public art collection and a rotating calendar of events, from boat shows to food festivals (newquay.com.au).

Multicultural Melbourne
Half of Victoria’s population are first or second generation immigrants. Visit the city’s cultural precincts for a glimpse into this modern melting pot
FROM LEFT: Chinese Dumplings; Chinatown; Halva
CHINATOWN Melbourne’s Chinatown has the remarkable distinction of being the longest continuous Chinese settlement in the western world, dating back to the 1850s gold rush. It runs along the eastern end of Little Bourke Street between Spring and Swanston Streets, incorporating the surrounding laneways, and is announced by its distinctive arches, which glow neon red at night. The precinct remains an important social and economic centre for the Chinese community, as well as a tribute to its history, from the fivestorey Chinese Museum (home to the world’s longest dragon), to nostalgically named laneways bars like Double Happiness with its Communist kitsch decor and New Gold Mountain (the Chinese nickname for Australia during the gold rush). Of course, Chinatown is home to some truly excellent cuisine, from cheep and cheerful dumpling houses to the decadent Flower Drum. It’s also cosmopolitan, with a range of international fare on offer, and some of the best karaoke bars around. chinatownmelbourne.com.au
GREEK PRECINCT Melbourne is home to the third-largest Greek population in the world (after Athens and Thessaloniki). The city’s Greek history can be traced back to the gold rush, when a handful of Greek immigrants joined the race for riches, but it was after Word War II that Greek culture truly began to imprint its culture on Melbourne, largely through the cafes and restaurants run by Greek immigrants that began to spring up on Lonsdale Street during this time, providing newly arrived Greeks with familiar food and music, Greek language newspapers and company. From the 1960s to the 1980s Lonsdale Street cemented its status as Melbourne’s Greek precinct, with a revival at the end of the 1990s when Greek bars and nightclubs appeared along Lonsdale and Russell Streets. These days, visitors from all walks of life can celebrate Greek culture with everything from melt-in-your-mouth halva and baklava at International Cakes, to a late night souvlaki at Stalactites. greekprecinct.com.au
LITTLE ITALY Italian culture is manifest in Melbourne, from food and fashion to luxury cars and football (soccer) fever. Italian migration to Australia peaked during the 1950s and 1960s,
and the vast majority made their home in Victoria. During this mid-century migration a large number of Italian-owned shops began to crop up along the Lygon Street strip, in the inner city suburb of Carlton, best known as Little Italy. Many of these early businesses are still operating out of the same premises today, including Toto’s – Australia’s first pizza restaurant, which opened in 1961. It’s joined by atmospheric institution Ti Amo, and a short distance away on Drummond Street you’ll find the first edition of the DOC empire – an authentic pizzeria and deli where everything is imported, including your waiter. Learn more at the Co.As.It, a nonprofit organisation for Italians offering language classes, a museum and a travel service, or join the part at the Carlton Italian Festa, held annually in November (carltonitalianfesta.org.au).

WANT MORE?
The melting pot doesn’t end there. At the Jewish Museum in St Kilda discover over 20,000 objects and stories exploring Jewish life, or tuck into challah at Elsternwick’s Aviv’s Cakes & Bagels, gefilte fish at Klein’s Gourmet Foods in Ripponlea, or chocolate babka at St Kilda institution Monarch Cakes. Meanwhile, on Richmond’s Victoria Street enjoy mouth-watering bites at Rice Paper Scissors, or a steaming bowl of noodle soup at reliable classic I Love Pho, or whip up a meal yourself with goodies from authentic Vietnamese groceries.
And that’s just the tip of the cultural iceberg. Head to Melbourne’s Immigration Museum to discover more about the myriad cultures that make this city what it is (museumvictoria.com.au/immigrationmuseum).

After dark
Melbourne comes alive at night, with a vibrant small bar scene, live music and performing arts all guaranteed to keep you entertained until the wee small hours MAIN IMAGE: Transit Bar, Federation Square. of performing arts – from theatre and opera to comedy and cabaret – at the Arts Centre, and relax before and after your show with cocktails at The Barre, pre- and post-show dinners at Teatro, Café Vic, Mezz Bar, or divine Japanese with river views at Saké (artscentremelbourne.com.au). LIKE A KING King Street is Melbourne’s main nightclub and adult entertainment district. Its nineteenth century warehouses have been converted into hotspots for partygoers, and many of Melbourne’s major attractions – including Federation Square, Crown Entertainment Complex and Eureka Skydeck – are within a few blocks, making King Street a useful base for overnight or simply a memorable night out. JEWEL IN THE CROWN Located on the southern bank of the Yarra River, Crown is Melbourne’s premier entertainment venue. Attracting over 18 million visitors each year, and featuring one of the largest casinos in the southern hemisphere, Crown is also home to three world-class hotels, each with their own vibrant and sophisticated setting. Plus over 40 restaurants, cafes and bars, cinemas, ten-pin bowling and laser tag, an interactive amusement arcade, live entertainment theatre and four nightclubs (crownmelbourne.com.au). DV Y ou’ll find an ample selection of moody underground haunts in Melbourne, but why not take advantage of the fresh air and views on offer at countless rooftop bars? The Rooftop Bar above Curtain House on Swanston Street is one of Melbourne’s most beloved, with unbeatable city views, a burger shack, and an outdoor cinema in summer (rooftopbar.co). The Rooftop bar at funky QT Hotel is also worth a visit, with elegant mid-century decor and an impressive cocktail list, as well as an indoor/outdoor split ideal for all seasons (133 Russell Street), while the lush tropical vibes of The Palmz above The Carlton Hotel, with its thatched roof bar and palm trees, will transport you from inner city to desert island (thecarlton.com.au). If live music gets you going, head down ACDC Lane to Cherry Bar for nightly bands and laneway festivals Cherryfest and Cherry Rock (cherrybar.com.au). Chinatown’s Ding Dong Lounge is a louche music venue created by musicians for musicians (dingdonglounge.com.au), while music fans have flocked to the Corner Hotel in Melbourne’s inner-east suburb of Richmond for over 20 years – start with a gastropub meal at the newly renovated rooftop bar, then head to one of the biggest and best loved band rooms in the city (cornerhotel.com). The sister club to New York night spot Birdland, Melbourne’s Bird’s Basement is inspired by saxophonist Charlie Parker and serves up two dinner shows a night with some of the world’s most famous jazz and funk musos alongside modern Italian cuisine (birdsbasement.com).

The National Opal Collection
Since the 1880s, Australia’s extraordinary and beautiful gemstone, the opal, has been mined in the outback. Today, Australia produces most of the world’s gem quality opal
Visit the heart of both Sydney and Melbourne, where you can experience a little of what it is like to be in an underground opal mine. At The National Opal Collection you will see real opal in the walls of simulated opal mines. You can also see how a piece of rough is transformed into a magnifi cent gem opal. In the adjoining showrooms is a treasure trove of exquisite opal jewellery available for purchase. Nature has captured all the colours of the spectrum in opal, displaying them in an infi nite variety of shades, patterns and
brilliance. No other gemstone can display such wonderful personality and each stone exudes its own character, allowing the wearer to own a truly unique piece of nature.
Opal formed around 20-50 million years ago from the silica-rich sands of an ancient sea bed, which is now the outback deserts of Australia.
On rare occasions, opalised fossils have been found where silica replaces a shell or bone from the dinosaur age, proving an incredible link between the two. Australia is the only place in the world where opalised animal fossils can be found. At The National Opal Collection you can see beautifully preserved opalised fossils of ancient fauna and fl ora, including ‘Nessie’, a three metre long strange monster from the deep formed 100 million years ago. Free tours of the museum include a presentation in the auditorium and opal cutting demonstrations.
Pendant from the Kaleidoscope range
Your visit to The National Opal Collection is a great opportunity to purchase an opal or opal jewellery tax free from a company involved in every step of the opal production chain, from mining and cutting through to design and creation of magnifi cent opal jewellery pieces.
There are four main types of natural solid opal from Australia:
BLACK OPAL Black Opal is the most valuable type, coming mainly from Lightning Ridge New South Wales. High quality stones are very rare and easily distinguished by the blackness of the background ‘body tone’ or body colour.
LIGHT OPAL Light Opal is mostly mined at Coober Pedy and Mintabie in South Australia, although the fi rst deposits were at White Cliffs New South Wales. Stones range from transparent to nearly opaque, and they have a light or white body tone or background hue.
CRYSTAL OPAL Crystal Opal includes light or black opal, which is transparent or very translucent. Colour can be seen from deep within the opal.
BOULDER OPAL Boulder Opal occurs naturally in hard rock, mined predominantly in Queensland. It is easily identifi ed because, when cut, the host rock (a brown ironstone) is left on the back of the opal.

Experience the laneways
From rooftop bars to basement boutiques, Melbourne’s cobbled laneways are filled with unique treasures
FLINDERS QUARTER Local and international fashion abounds between Swanston and Elizabeth streets, the heart of Melbourne’s original ‘rag trade’. Flinders Lane and Cathedral Arcade are long-time havens for young and emerging designers, or visit the art spaces in Australia’s highest concentration of commercial galleries, from Indigenous art to contemporary sculpture and letterpress. Recharge at an endless array of hole-in-the-wall cafes, bakeries, sushi, sandwich and soup shops plus bars and restaurants galore. Chow down at Chin Chin, go subterranean at Coda, be bookish at Journal and get the golden touch at Cumulus, Inc.
LIVERPOOL STREET With one foot in Chinatown and the other in Melbourne’s humming theatre district, Liverpool Street feels a little like old Shanghai. Soak up the opium-den atmosphere of New Gold Mountain, an upstairs bar inspired by Melbourne’s gold rush-era, or head downstairs for a brew amid the Chinese propaganda posters at Double Happiness. Keep wandering and take your pick of everything from sake and soba, modern Chinese dining, or South East Asian share plates, or hit up Melbournalia for bespoke souvenirs.
CROSSLEY STREET In this fashionable laneway, orientate yourself with an espresso from Pellegrini’s before shopping for threads at Charles Edward and Blonde Venus. Gentlemen get coiffed at Windsor Gents Salon, while their ladies accessorise at Gallery Funaki and Lucy Folk. Get lost among Art Deco lamps and antique toys at De Mille, then choose between award-winning fine dining at Becco, or Gingerboy’s stylish modern Asian street food.
BLOCK PLACE Turn off Little Collins Street between Swanston and Elizabeth streets to find Block Place, a pedestrian laneway crowded with hole-in-the-wall coffee shops and eateries. Originally the home of stamp dealers, shoe stores and dry cleaners, this popular cafe precinct now fills up with lunchtime workers and hungry shoppers. Descend the stairs to peruse the racks at Basement Discs, one of Melbourne’s favourite record stores, before continuing to Collins Street, taking in the deco interiors of Block Court, or turning left to discover the grand architecture and bespoke boutiques of the famous Block Arcade.
HOSIER LANE Head down the iconic bluestone laneway admiring the street art that Melbourne is world famous for, or join a walking tour to get some background on the artists and their work (melbournestreettours.com). Once you’ve had your fill of the colour and mayhem, slow things down with a refreshing cocktail at Misty – a popular pre-gig drink spot for the Forum Theatre crowd. Alternatively, sit elbow-toelbow with other hungry punters at Movida – one of the city’s best tapas restaurants.
MEYERS PLACE Originally known as Nicholas Lane, Meyers Place connects Little Collins and Bourke at the top end of town, with a namesake bar that started Melbourne’s famous laneway drinking scene way back in the 1990s. Climb the stairs and order your favourite dish at Italian home-style eatery The Waiters Club, a popular pit stop for theatre fans. Enjoy a drink in the Loop rooftop garden and look out across the city, tuck into Argentinian cuisine in the old-world atmosphere of San Telmo, or get adventurous with tailor made cocktails at Lily Blacks.
CENTRE PLACE Spend an afternoon by the bluestone cobbles of Centre Place and become part of a Melbourne postcard scene. Changing stencil art and graffiti provide a sensory overload best dealt with by squeezing into Jungle Juice for an international coffee. Soups and crepes will tempt, as will the dumplings at ShanDong MaMa Mini. Browse new and vintage threads and accessories at Fokus and Kinki Gerlinki. Survey the scene from above over an icy cold beer at Hell’s Kitchen, or cross Flinders Lane to Degraves Street for more coffee, eats and treats, and then soak up the arty, subway vibes of Campbell Arcade.
DUCKBOARD PLACE Once the place where World War II troops came to let off steam, Duckboard Place now attracts a more discerning punter. Covered head to toe in street art and gig posters, the lane is home to innovative Chinese eatery Lee Ho Fook, the Indian-inspired flavours of Tonka and Danish steakhouse A Hereford Beefstouw. If that isn’t enough to light your fire, make your way via the back door to the labyrinthine Garden State Hotel or keep walking to link up with ACDC Lane, the city’s rock Mecca and site of the famous Cherry Bar.
