Top 5 things to do in Melbourne.
Melbourne's multiculturalism usually places it at the top of the list of the world's most livable cities. Visit this thriving city at the mouth of Port Phillip Bay and you'll understand why. The atmosphere of Australia's second biggest city is clearly European. Grand Victorian structures harken back to the city's Gold Rush heyday, while tree-lined promenades and a maze of secret laneways make exploring the city extremely enjoyable. So, today, let us take a look at 5 things you absolutely must do and places you should visit when visiting Melbourne.

A Tourist in Melbourne and the Yarra Valley (Australia)
Melbourne is a hub airport for Quantas and Emirates, an ideal opportunity for travellers to break their journey and visit some of the local attractions, such as the wonderful sandy beaches of Port Phillip Bay, sample a glass or two at one of the Yarra Valley wineries, take a trip on a steam train, or maybe ride one of the vintage trams around the city. Visit a zoo to get close to some of the colorful wildlife, there is even a chocolate factory with a cafe where customers can choose from an amazing array of candy, cakes, ice-cream, snacks and beverages. The riverside walkways are lined with cafes, bars and intriguing artwork. Board one of the river boats for an alternative view of the city’s attractive high rise skyline. The “Melbourne Star Observation Wheel” offers stunning aerial views over the city and surrounding suburbs, along with a commentary outlining the history of the area, as well as pointing out some of the more notable landmarks. Public transport is good with one of the largest, if not the largest tram network in the world, there are regular commuter trains out to the leafy suburbs such as Belgrave, for a trip on the delightful Puffing Billy railway where passengers can ride through the tall eucalyptus trees and ferns of the Wright Forest in a vintage railway carriage pulled by a centenarian steam locomotive. With so much to see and do, Melbourne is well worth a visit.

In this Video im visiting Port Melbourne (Lagoon pier) which is a fantastic place to see the surrounding area and (Station Pier Melbourne) Home of Spirit of (Tasmania Ferry) and docking Pier for Major Cruise Liners Visiting Melbourne Port.
Port Melbourne is an inner suburb of Melbourne, Australia, 5 km south-west from Melbourne's central business district. It is split between the local government areas of Melbourne and Port Phillip. The area to the north of the West Gate Freeway is in the City of Melbourne. The area to the south is in the City of Port Phillip. At the 2016 Census, Port Melbourne had a population of 16,175.[1]
The suburb is bordered by the shores of Hobsons Bay and the lower reaches of the Yarra River. Port Melbourne covers a large area, which includes the distinct localities of Fishermans Bend, Garden City and Beacon Cove.
Historically it was known as Sandridge and developed as the City's second port, linked to the nearby Melbourne CBD.
The formerly industrial Port Melbourne has been subject to intense urban renewal over the past two decades. As a result, Port Melbourne is a diverse and historic area, featuring industrial and port areas along the Yarra, to open parklands, bayside beaches, exclusive apartments and Bay Street's restaurants and cafes. The suburb also forms a major transport link from east to west, home to one end of the West Gate Bridge.
Port Phillip (also commonly referred to as Port Phillip Bay), is a port in southern Victoria, Australia. It is nearly surrounded by the city of Melbourne and its suburbs. Geographically, the port covers 1,930 square kilometres (480,000 acres) and the shore stretches roughly 264 km (164 mi). Although it is extremely shallow for its size, most of the port is navigable. The deepest portion is only 24 metres (79 ft), and half the region is shallower than 8 m (26 ft). The volume of the water in the port is around 25 cubic kilometres (6.0 cu mi).
Before European settlement the area around Port Phillip was divided between the territories of the Wathaurong (to the west), Wurundjeri (north) and Boonwurrung (south and east) Nations. Its waters and coast are home to seals, whales, dolphins, corals, and many kinds of seabirds and migratory waders.
The first Europeans to enter the port were the crews of HMS Lady Nelson, commanded by John Murray and, ten weeks later, HMS Investigator commanded by Matthew Flinders, in 1802. Subsequent expeditions into the bay took place in 1803 to establish the first settlement in Victoria, near Sorrento, but was abandoned in 1804. Thirty years later, settlers from Tasmania returned to establish Melbourne, now the state's capital city, at the mouth of the Yarra River in 1835 and Geelong at Corio Bay in 1838. Today Port Phillip is the most densely populated catchment in Australia[1] with an estimated 4.5 million people living around the bay; Melbourne's suburbs extend around much of the northern and eastern shorelines, and the city of Geelong sprawls around Corio Bay, in the port's western arm.

B. J. Ferdinando Gardens, Hampton, Victoria, Australia
Benjamin James Ferdinando
By: David J Ferdinando
Acknowledgements: City of Kingston, Melbourne Australia
Benjamin James Ferdinando was born on the 10th October 1852 at 18, George Street, Bethnal Green. His parents were Benjamin Ferdinando and Emma Walker. As a young man he lived for eight years on the European Continent. He spoke French as well as German. During his time in Europe he met and married Marion, also English, studying art. they were married in Paris. They emigrated to Australia in 1887 settling first in Adelaide. Two years later they moved to Melbourne and from 1893 until his death in 1922, lived in Hampton.
Benjamin travelled each day by train from Hampton, a small seaside village, to his office in Melbourne. He became involved in local activities and in 1897 he was the Chairman of Directors of the Sandringham House Company. He was an active member of the Sandringham Progress League and its President in 1901.
At various times, Benjamin held office in Sporting bodies including the Sandringham Rifle Club and the Hampton Bathing and Life Saving Club. He was, for 19 years, the Treasurer of the Victorian Artists' Society, most probably through Marion's interest.
However, it is as a leading force in the 20th Century Sandringham Severance Movement that Benjamin is remembered.
In 1904, Benjamin was elected to the Moorabbin Shire Council. His fellow Councilors were all against separation and whose antagonism for his support for severance he had to fight over the years. This movement, started in 1884, was a struggle by the inhabitants of the West Riding to be separated from the Moorabbin Shire. The area proposed to be severed was residential and its ratepayers had different interests from those in the East and North Riding who were dominated by Market Gardeners.
The sixth and final Petition to the State Government in 1917 was successful and the Borough of Sandringham was created. Benjamin was elected as a Councilor and was the Borough's first Mayor. Benjamin died on the 1st June 1922.

Rye Pier - Octopus Garden
I'm back for a little dive under Rye Pier, Port Phillip Bay, Victoria.
Did you know about the octopus garden there? It's an artificial reef, designed especially for octopuses! I counted six - 00:56, 01:29, 01:57, 02:07, 02:22, and 02:34.
So where is it? When you reach the end of the main part of the pier, don't turn right - keep heading north for about 60 metres (follow the 'signposts').
Dived on 1 Nov 2021 - (the first dive after COVID lockdown!) Water temp was a toasty 16 deg C. Depth 4-5 metres under the pier, and 8 metres at the octopus garden. Filmed on a GoPro 8 in 4k, @ 50 fps, using a PolarPro Switchblade for the macro shots. And a little light or two.
Even just staying under the pier itself is pretty good, with lots of colour and little critters.
Watch in 4K!!
Big thanks to Marcia (she's got the big camera rig!) and the ladies for their company on the dive.
