Melbourne Attractions Guide

As an Australia car hire client visiting Melbourne, you'll want to get the most of your money. Included below are a few Attractions that you and your fellow vacationers will definitely want to look into!


The Great Ocean Road
This winding picturesque trail is perfect for taking your Australian car rental on! This tour showcases some of the most beautiful and scenic coastline Australia has to offer. The trip begins in Torquay (Australia's surfing Capital) and continues on through Lorne and Apollo Bay. The next stop is one of the most exciting: Port Campbell National Park. Here you will listen to tales of the many seaman and ships that have come to rest in the turbulent waters. Make sure to bring your camera because there are thousands of photo ops at every turn! Take a picture beside your fellow Australia car hires at the London Bridge or with the Twelve Apostoles. The trip back starts at Port Campbell and winds its way back to Melbourne through Colac, and Whinchelsea, two small seaside townships. Come and experience an exhilarating and historical tour of some of the nicest seaside villages and towns in the world!


Colonial Tramcar Restaurant
While you are driving along in your Australia rental car, you're sure to see quite a few tramcars traveling lazily about the roads. One of these is the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant. This tourist attraction is housed in a fully restored, air-conditioned 1927 tramcar. Don't pass this one by! Offering a full bar and some of the best Australian foods; why not park your Australian hired car for a while (tours range from 1.5 to 3 hours) and enjoy a slightly different perspective of Melbourne and a dinner you'll never to forget!!


The Savanna Walkabout
A trip to Melbourne, Australia wouldn't be complete without a trip to see some of Australia's homeland animals. The Savanna Walkabout offers one of the most extensive and magnificent tours within minutes of central Melbourne. Visit with kangaroos, native birds, emus, wallabies and of course everyone's favourite - the koala. Although the tour is vehicle based (a perfect opportunity yet again to use your Australia car hire), most of the time will be spent out of the car, walking along flat terrain bush trails in amongst some of the worlds most exotic animals!!!


Rialto Observation Deck
A site seers dream! The Rialto Observation Deck is located in the Rialto towers, the tallest building in the southern hemisphere! As an added bonus, stop and watch "RIALTO VISION", a state of the art audio visual experience welcoming you to Melbourne. Views stretch from the tower eastwards towards Dandenongs, and Geelong; and then also to the west where most of Port Phillip Bay is visible. Views also extend along way to the north and you can even catch a glimpse of the ocean!! Make sure to bring lots of film, because you and your Australian car hires will want to remember this site for years to come!!


The Crown
Running low on spending cash? Never fear, for Melbourne has its own 5 star casino and entertainment centre! Located on the southern banks of the Yarra River, the Crown offers something for everyone. You'll be blown away by the warm hospitality, amazing luxury and unbeatable service. The Crown Casino is one of the largest casinos in the southern hemisphere, and offers a wide range of gaming options. The main game floor stretches for well over a half kilometer and is also home to many smaller themed rooms such as the Teak Room, Las Vegas Room and the Mahogany Room. Not a gambler? Well then why not take a stroll through the shopping complex? With stores like Louis Vitton, Versace, Prada and Burberry, the Crown is THE premier shopping centre in all of Melbourne. All shopped out? Relax in one of the two world class hotels, the Crown Towers and the Crown Promenade Hotel. With conference rooms available for 2000 people, this is the perfect place for you and your Australian car hires to get together and compare stories about your fabulous trip to Melbourne!!
