Melbourne is the second biggest city in Australia and it is located on the south face of the continent directly above Tasmania. It has been noted as one of the most liveable cities in the world and when you first arrive there it is easy to see why. The entire city has been built around the Port Phillip Bay which provides a sheltered haven from most of the Pacific Ocean. The entire bay area is perfect for taking boat rides and watching the sunset as you drink sundowners or you can simply take part in your favourite water sports activities, including fishing and kite surfing. However, that might not be such a great idea during this time of the year though. Between June and August, the whole of Australia experiences a drop in average temperature, and things can get a little chilly outside at times.

Fortunately you have the option of choosing a hotel that is well equipped to handle your stay, even if you have to spend it indoors. Grandhotelmelbourne.com.au is a good example of a site that gives you everything you need for your stay and more. You can book into a hotel ...
... room that has a separate bedroom from the rest of the apartment, giving you a sense of home living in comparison to all the other hotel rooms you have been in. They are fully serviced and some of the rooms even have their own kitchen, so you can take over the cooking if you feel like it. This winter you can catch the annual writer’s festival as well as the Melbourne International Film festival to experience some of the best that Australia has to offer. There are going to be sports displays at the national sports museum or take a walk through the docklands and maybe catch the annual fireworks display. Take a walk on the beach where the famous 12 Apostles lay as spires of rock that tower into the air. There’s St Kilda, Fed Square, Fitzroy and Phillip island beach where you can do everything from Partying to penguins and from dusk until dawn. It depends on what you feel like doing at the time and who you are with, but there will always be something for everyone to do. As long as you pack warm clothes to prevent anyone from getting sick, you should be just fine.

If you are lucky enough to get there before August 2012, you might get lucky enough to experience the biggest outdoor ice-rink and get a taste for an alpine ski lodge.
