One of the best things about Melbourne is its picturesque parks and gardens which all have a story to tell.

 Royal Park is the largest and Birrarung Marr one of the latest – the city’s first new major parkland in a century.  King’s Domain pays reverence, housing key historic monuments, while its neighbour is the world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.

Carlton Gardens and the Royal Exhibition Building are World Heritage listed, and the nearby Fitzroy and Treasury Gardens charm with an avenue of 150-year-old elms. You can also visit Cooks’ Cottage, home of Captain James Cook’s parents.
