Tour the MCG :thumbup:

See the penguins :wub:

F1 Grand Prix if its the right time!

I remember going round the Police Museum as well - that was fascinating but probably not to everyone's taste :)

Go up the Skydeck, go around the laneways, go see the Pinnacles, go visit the wineries - that's for a start.

That's okay. I was just wondering summer, winter, or whatever to tailor my recommendations. :thumbup:

For example Great Ocean Rd, spring and autumn, and summer if not too hot. But I wouldn't recommend it in winter.
