Melbourne. People call it “the city of dreams”. They say it’s a place you’ll regret not visiting. A place that enshrines the very essence of the world as created by nature and then developed by mankind to display its grandeur.
I have always been fascinated by Australia. The way it’s so disconnected from everything, surrounded by water from every side. I always wondered how it would be to live some place like that. Although I might not really like that but still a few says visit, a vacation, will definitely be fun.
There’s a joke about Australians. They are not racist or anything, they hate everyone equally. In all the movies, the Australians have been portrayed as people who are a little different, a little adventurous, a little forward, outgoing, qualities that I truly admire. I am not even sure that’s how they really are, but I sure would love to find out.
In the south east of Australia is a state, Victoria. It is the smallest mainland island and the most densely populated state. Its capital is Melbourne, the world’s most livable city as ranked by the Economist Group's Intelligence Unit in August 2011 and again in 2012.

I want to witness the splendid 12 Apostles, observe the magnificent rock stacks that rise up regally from the Southern Ocean on Victoria's vivid coastline. Take in the spectacular beauty of the surrounding area along the beach.


I would love to participate in the year round events of the Royal Botanic Gardens and explore the diverse plant collection which has made the Gardens, Melbourne’s most popular tourist attractions.


I also want to do the famous tree top walk, where you can zip across the treetops in this unique forest experience, gaining a bird's-eye view of Otway’s beautiful forests.

Well, by now you must be wondering what’s all this musing and imagining the city of dreams about? Well I guess ... it's your time to visit Melbourne NOW! This is a contest that I thought I could participate.
So for any details, I would advise you to visit http://www.visitmelbourne.com.in and plan your own adventure and a fun filled journey.
