Overview
Healesville Sanctuary is indeed a fantastic place to immerse yourself in the wonders of Australian wildlife. It offers a beautiful native setting where you can observe and learn about various unique species up close, ranging from adorable koalas to iconic kangaroos and fascinating wombats. On the way back to Melbourne, we will drive through the scenic Yarra Valley. Once back in Melbourne, there are several attractions that truly showcase the city's rich heritage and vibrant atmosphere. Parliament House and Old Treasury Building are indeed historical landmarks that offer a glimpse into Melbourne's past. Exploring the City Laneways is a must-do to witness the city's unique street art scene and soak in its lively ambiance. Similarly, the Block Arcade and Royal Arcade are iconic shopping destinations that seamlessly blend history and modernity.
