Places to experience in Melbourne & Adelaide
Hi all,
In order to validate my 175 visa; I am going to Australia for a week where I will meet my friends/relatives in Melbourne and Adelaide.
I am trying to find some places both in Melbourne and Adelaide which are worth visiting in terms of adventurous and sightseeing.
Could you please share your experience and advise on it ?
Note: I am non-alcoholic guy - so no more wineries
Thanks
Bye,
Peace!

http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/clelandwildlife/Home We will hopefully be visiting this place, IIRC it is one of the best wildlife parks in Aus
If you get a chance, Kangaroo Island is supposed to be well worth a visit but would suggest it would need at least an overnight stay
Lots of cellar doors/wineries to visit
We are doing the Great Ocean Road and there is lots to see

If you have a car then Gorge Wildlife Park is a nice day out. Bring your own food and use the free BBQs and eating area. http://www.gorgewildlifepark.com.au/
If you like wine there are loads of great wineries both north and south of the city.
Drive up in the hills to Stirling and Hahndorf. http://www.adhills.com.au/tourism/towns/hahndorf/
Take the tram down to Glenelg for a nice day at the beach. There are some nice shops down there as well.
Go on a walking tour of the city and don't forget to go to the Haigh's chocolate factory. Yum. http://haighschocolates.com.au/

Re: Places to experience in Melbourne & Adelaide
Thanks for the inputs.
I will be with my sister and have no plans for overnight stay - Will prefer places where we can start in morning and come back home in night/evening ...
I heard of Helicopter tour of Great Ocean Road ... how is it ? I never had helicopter flight and just visualizing how scenic it would be ..

The helicopter tour sounds like fun.

You can do Gorge park in the morning and Hahndorf in the afternoon. They are not far from each other and Gorge wildlife park would let you see all kinds of native Australian animals. You and your sister can even cuddle a koala. (That's me at Gorge about 5 years ago)
The helicopter tour sounds like fun.

We're going to be staying in Mount Barker, so hopefully will get to see quite a bit of Hahndorf and the surrounding areas - can't wait 131 sleeps to go

We actually looked at a chunk of land while we were there a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately Perth to Adelaide is one hell of a daily commute.
