Yes I know I have been a bit slack of late...
December is a wonderful time in Melbourne as the anticipation of a holiday season arrives. The weather is terrific (usually), people are out and about attending numerous events such as xmas parties, concerts, sporting contests, markets, exhibitions, productions the list goes on and on. I have compiled a short list of my favourite things to do in Melbourne over the month of December.
1. Picnic in the Botanic Gardens, alway a fantastic way to unwind. Or for something different try catching a show at the Moonlight Cinema (Bot Gardens Gate D - Movies start on sundown). Also the Sidney Myer Music Bowl usually hosts some excellent music events some of which are free and because the music bowl is an outdoor venue the music can be enjoyed (if ticketed) from outside the perimeter fence.
2. Suzuki Night Market - At the Queen Victoria Market on a Wednesday evening. Fantastic food, live entertainment and market stalls with a difference.
3. Boxing Day Test Match Cricket - Yes, I know I'm a cricket tragic but the Boxing Day Test match is a bit of a Melbourne institution because of its fantastic atmosphere and huge crowds. This year the worlds number one cricket team (Aussies) take on the worlds number two cricket team the South Africans. Should be a great game...
4. St Kilda Beach - Great place to spend a warm summers evening by the bay watching the sun go down with a cold beverage in hand... Marvellous.
5. Catch one of the many free events at Federation Square...
Hope this gives you a few ideas of what to do in Melbourne over December. If you want any more ideas or particular interests of things to do in town let me know and I will point you in the right direction. Otherwise you could jump on a tour with Bio Bus Tours and Experience Melbourne Sustainably...
To everyone out there wherever you are from the crew at Bio Bus Tours we hope you have a terrific and safe holiday season.
Cheers
