Think Melbourne, Think Victoria

Almost a month ago on a fine day morning I got a mail from Indiblogger with subject "It's your time to visit Melbourne NOW!". I read the mail and it really touched my heart as it made me think it was a call for me. I had been waiting long to pen down my dreams about Melbourne. I always wanted to visit Australia especially Melbourne. The first thing that came to mind after reading the mail was "Think Melbourne, Think Victoria". Melbourne is the most popular tourist destination in Victoria state, Australia. The reason why this tag came to my mind was due to the Melbourne cricket ground.

I have been hearing about the Melbourne cricket ground from my school days. I had the dream of visiting Melbourne from my childhood days. The contest gives wings to my dream and I can fly up in the air ! Yes, In my dream I can see myself flying to Melbourne, Australia.

I planned to head over to the Official tourism website of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia for visitors from India to learn more about Melbourne attractions, culture, art, dinning and entertainments so that my trip to Melbourne is definitely going to have a well organised travel plan. The website gave me a clear idea on all aspects of Melbourne.

Day 1

The first and foremost thing after breakfast is visiting Melbourne museum to learn about the environment, culture and history of Australia.

The second thing will be a visit to Melbourne Aquarium, the not to be missed attraction in Melbourne. The Aquarium has a 360 degree Oceanarium where I can see live feeding of giant sharks.

I would now love to explore the great maritime history of Australia by stepping on-board and joining the crew on the Polly Woodside.
