Best Shopping Malls in Montrose Post Office Area

"Australia’s iconic shopping precinct is a feast for the eyes but of course this might not necessarily thrill your children. Older kids might want to have a closer look at The Art of Dr Seuss, Dafel Dolls and Bears and the cool collection at Mr Wares while you can marvel at the stunning architecture of the arcade. Finish off with cake and coffees in the Victorian splendour at the wonderful Hopetoun Tearooms."

"Standing in stark contrast to the city's laneways, are its glamourous arcades. They replace street art and cobblestones with boutique shops and tiled floors. The city features several glamourous arcades, including The Royal Arcade, the oldest arcade in Australia."

"Looking for a one-stop shop for multiple fun things for kids to do in Melbourne?. Then head down to the District Docklands as there are numerous Melbourne family attractions here (keep reading below for more details about these family attractions Melbourne offers). The District Docklands is an outdoor shopping centre that is also a great dining and entertainment precinct."

"The calm waters of Elwood Beach make it great for swimming, and sometimes there’s enough surf for some boogie boarding. There’s the Bayside Trail bike and running track if you fancy a walk or cycle, plus cafes a’plenty. Getting there: Elwood Beach is 9km from the city centre."

"A little bit further south, Elwood Beach comes with plenty of parking and is less crowded than its famous neighbour St Kilda. Elwood has a great beachside vibe with quaint little shops and cute cafes. The promenade is great for prams and scooters."

"The Mission to Seafarers, Victoria, active from 1857, has operated since 1917 from the heritage-listed building, 717 Flinders St, on the banks of the River Yarra. The Mission is highly regarded for its long and continuing service to those who live and work at sea. Guided tours available or casual visits are welcome 365 days of the year, refreshments available."

"The Footscray Park playground is one of the play areas near me that includes water play. There are also flying foxes, swings, climbing equipment, a sandpit and some lovely musical instruments. Better still, it’s fenced, there are public toilets, water taps, picnic shelters and barbecues and shade from trees."

"The Southbank of many cities is often the cultural hub of life, and Melbourne’s Southbank is no exception. Spend an afternoon wandering along the Yarra River and meander across the many bridges, complete with various artworks. One such installations on Sandridge Bridge displays metal statues titled ‘The Travellers’ – a fitting title for a tourists’ day out!"

"The old historic Princes Pier in Port Melbourne is both a fisherman’s and photographers favourite early evening spot. With the sunsetting to the west, (right as you lookout to Port Phillip Bay), the golden hour light just before sunset is an ideal time to be here."
