It's Spring! Head to Melbourne’s bayside suburb of St Kilda for some really exciting experiences that end in a sunset penguin march at the St Kilda breakwater! Yes, penguins!!!
Take a fun ride on a light rail tram to St Kilda and brunch at one of the famous cake shops, all in a row on Acland Street. Then take a peak at St Kilda Beach before going shopping in the streets surrounding including Barkly and Carlisle streets. Stop for some expert coffee that Melbourne is famous for. You won’t be stuck for choice. For the nearest local on-site coffee roaster, try Monk Bodhi Dharma near the Town Hall.
