check out http://www.visitvictoria.com.au/ for events in Mel.

There's always tons going on in Melbourne for all ages - easter or not! There's a really good booklet you can pick up from dept stores, or tourist info called 'Me!bourne' - gives you a comprehensive guide to what's on, and what the main attractions are around the city and surrounds.

Yep, the Official Visitors Guide called Me!bourne (not a spelling mistake!) is put out seasonally by visitvictoria.com.au (you just put /summer or whatever season you want on the end). There is also a Discover Melbourne and Victoria visitors guide and these websites below will give you some ideas. As HP said there are stacks of things to do all the time. Moomba is the big festival coming up before Easter. Try:

I think Easter in Melbourne is the best time of the year. The Autumn weather is great, not to hot like its going to be this week.
