well depend which part you want to see! melbourne (the city) is just so great! so just get some information from the information center in federation square. that'll have the best things to do in melbourne, but i would recommend that you should go to some places like walhalla, or ballarat and definately check out the Great Ocean Road and all of the suburbs around these areas!

Answer 4

I agree with the previous answer.. go to the information centre at federation square - they're fantastic there!

Answer 5

You'v asked about Brisbane/Cairns but many people don't realise just how big Queensland is. Cairns is over 1700km from Brisbane (over 1000 miles) and Qld stretches for at least that far again to the north of Cairns. It's a great place. Take a ride on the Kuranda Railway to the Atherton Tableland; visit the Daintree Rainforest to the north; visit Green Island which is a true coral cay and go snorkelling on the surrounding reef.

In Brisbane, go on a round trip CityCat ride on the river and stop off at Southbank, the site of the 1988 World Expo and now beautifully re-developed for the people of Brisbane. Go to Mt Coot-tha lookout for a great view of the city and surrounding disctricts with the Brisbane River meandering along through the city to Moreton Bay. Apart from that, there's not much else of interest. A bit north of Brisbane you might like to go to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo

In Melbourne, the Melbourne Zoo is great and you can get there by tram or train; go on a MCG tour or (if you can possibly manage it) to an Aussie Rules game there - the game is unique and the MCG is one of the world's great stadiums and not to be missed.

Go to the (horse) races in Melbourne. No-one ever suggests that when they talk about things to do in Melbourne, but Flemington Racecourse in particular and Caulfield or Moonee Valley are completely different from racecourses anywhere else in the world and the atmosphere needs to be experienced to believe.

Visit the Shrine of Remembrance off St. Kilda Road - sounds boring but it isn't.

Go to Healesville Sanctuary - arguably one of the best wildlife parks for Australian animals.

Enjoy.
