The Victorian capital is known for its impressive buildings, particularly grand neoclassical structures erected in the prosperous ‘Marvellous Melbourne’ era of the late 19th century. Which is why it’s a pleasant surprise to discover that Melbourne isa great repository of architecture in the streamlined art deco style which dominated the 1920s and ’30s.
If there’s one thing Melbourne is famous for, it’s love of the coffee bean. Or, more precisely, the vibrant café culture which has grown up around it, blossoming into a tradition of character-packed cafes serving great food as well as hot beverages.
Though famous for its indoor attractions – bars, coffee, live music, shopping – Melbourne is also good at a major outdoor attraction: sport. The Melbourne Sports Lovers Tour takes members across the city to visit the Grand Prix circuit at Albert Park; Flemington Racecourse; Marvel Stadium; and the many and varied facilities within the sprawling sports precinct on the CBD’s southeast edge.
