13. MELBOURNE PART 1

Hello guys ~ today I will continue my blog with new country which is  M E L B O U R N E  !  Do u heard about Melbourne ?  Melbourne is the state capital and most populous city of the Australian state of Victoria, and the second-most populous city in Australia and Oceania. 😊  The country so beautiful and clean. There's no rubbish on the street, road and everywhere.   I really like their good attitude.

Here the list of the places that I went : 

• Queen Victoria Market

The Queen Victoria Market is a major landmark in Melbourne, Australia and at around seven hectares is the largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also have halal food such as kebab, chapati & more. Many fresh food especially strawberry, blueberry and cherries.

Even if you’re not buying, it's still a great place to visit.

• The American Doughnut Kitchen

The American Doughnut Kitchen van is a familiar sight at the Queen Victoria Markets. Fantastic doughnuts filled with strawberry jam. Probably one of the best doughnuts I've ever had in Melbourne and the dough is perfectly fluffy! the jam isn't too sweet. Perfect snack after a day of shopping at the market. 

• Brighton Beach

This is a very pretty beach located not far from the city. The colourful beach boxes are iconic and extremely pretty. It also make a fantastic backdrop for photos! 

This is a very popular place so it gets really busy with tourists like me. Hehehehe.

The sand was nice and the day my family and I went there, the water was very clean and can saw clearly some fishs and Marine life.

• Melbourne Zoo

Over 250 species from around the world can be found in the beautifully landscaped settings of Melbourne Zoo.

Melbourne zoo was great. The zoo was easy to access by public transport, we just caught the tram from Melbourne city. It's well laid out, interesting, plenty of quite nice food available and good coffee. The animals here are beautiful and well looked after. The animal enclosures are well presented and accessible with good viewpoints. The route around the park is well signed and there are always staff around to answer questions. Timed presentations given by staff are also interesting. Plantings including trees and flowers add much to the ambiance of the zoo. The zoo keepers are friendly and have heaps of knowledge. First time I saw koalas and Kangaroos in real life, beautiful zoo where you can found a variety of animals. Definitely a must to do in Melbourne. 💘

• ACMI Melbourne

The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is Australia's national museum of film, video games, digital culture and art. ACMI Melbourne is a unique institution in the heart of the city, located in Federation Square.

There are theaters where movies are shown but we spent all of our time enjoying free stuff, including a Virtual Reality show. This is such a fantastic place. My family and I only went as we had some time before our flight but I wish we could have stayed longer! 😢 

The staff were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The section on indigenous people reclaiming the use of their own image was particularly good. The interactive section is amazing - you can make your own flip book, get 360 degree photos taken of you, experience virtual reality, and lots more. Other displayed items included old projection equipment, costumes and interactive displays. On various occasions there are various exhibitions and at the time of my visit there was showing indie films. ACMI includes a cafe and eat in dining facilities and has a couple of different galleries and cinemas.ACMI is suitable for all types of visitors including individuals, couples and families.
