Melbourne: An untold story.
Life is a
Journey-It is a well known quote about life. In the busy and hectic life
schedule, where work is the only motto and motive of life and everyone
becomes the part of rat race. Everyone is running aimlessly not to reach any
where- this turns the life stressful and tiring. Now the question is- How to
ease the stress...? Traveling to new places, explore new destination and
meeting people there are some good tonics for a stressful life. Exploring new
destination in a foreign trip is becoming popular in the Indian Subcontinent
and fortunately Indi Blogger is getting this chance through "Melbourne Now
Contest".
"Melbourne Now Contest"
knocks at the doorstep of my thought and it also gives me a random thought too.
If I would win this contest, what would I like to bring back the experiences
from that city...? So, it is the show time... Now I am on an Imaginary and
Virtual visit to Melbourne....Hey...! But wait; without any information, it
isn't possible to travel. Yes I can make my journey easy and possible if I
gather information from http://www.visitmelbourne.com/in.
Melbourne’s most attractive sites-
Otway Fly Treetop Adventures, Melbourne Museum, Federation Square, Melbourne
Cricket Ground, Old Melbourne Gaol Crime and Justice Experience, Eureka Sky
deck 88, Werribee Open Range Zoo, Crown Entertainment Complexes, Healesville
Sanctuary, Science Works, Melbourne Aquarium, Queen Victoria Market, Puffing
Billy Steam Railway, Werribee Mansion, Sovereign Hill, Flagstaff Hill Maritime
Village, Gum San Chinese Heritage Centre, National Gallery of Victoria,
Melbourne Zoo and Central Deborah Gold Mine and many more.
The heritage buildings like Werribee
Mansion, Como House and Garden, Royal Exhibition Building, Old Melbourne Gaol
Crime and Justice Experience, Shrine of Remembrance,
While gathering the information the suggestive sight
scene that attracts a passionate nature lover and adventurer like me is Otway
Fly Treetop Adventures-One Location two adventures. Located in Victoria's
magnificent Otways providing visitors with a unique opportunity to view the
forest from a bird's eye view through its two unique Eco-adventure experiences,
the famous Tree Top walk and Zip Line tour. You can also experience the tree
top walk -that is the longest and tallest elevated walk of its own king in the
world.

Melbourne isn't empty at any point in natural scene
sights. Lavish parks, gardens and waterways are just like the beauty spots of Melbourne.
Nature Lovers feel at home in the greenery of Melbourne and its surroundings. I
have no words if I would experience all these.
Beyond Melbourne- Great Southern Touring Route, Yarra
Valley And Dandenong Ranges, Great Ocean Walk, Great Ocean Road, Phillip
Island, Skiing, Southern East touring route, Mornington Peninsula and other
attractive thing like -food and drink, spa, family activities and many more activities
that a tourist likes.
I was thrilled and excited,
thinking that this might be my one of the memorable foreign tours. Once again I
would have a chance to meet new people and would have new friendship. But one
thing is disturbing me- what was happened in Australia in last couple of years
with Indians and the whole world witnessed it through TV Channels and News
papers…Indians were attacked and killed in different parts of Australia. That
was done in the name of racial hatred or it was something else-It is still a
question mark. So I have in my mind-visit or not to visit Melbourne. Would it be
unsafe to visit there...?? It was really unfortunate –but I should go there;
otherwise I wouldn’t over come my fear, in this way I would understand the
situation in a better way there. My real motive of this visit is to create a
cultural bridge between the people of both countries and erase the bad
memories- what had happened within last couple of years in Australia. I would
like to meet the aboriginals of Australia- who are the representative of
original Australian culture and heritage. So what do you say…??
