Preserved 18th-century fortress with tunnels, WWII battlements & other military defense displays.

👍👍 What an INCREDIBLE place! Photos can’t portray how massive this shed is. For comparison for any English cathedral buffs - the Stick Shed is 100m longer than St Albans cathedral in England, one of the longest cathedrals in the UK. Inside it’s an awe-inspiring sight, and imagining the construction of...

Landmark 19th-century exhibition centre, topped with a dome, and set amid landscaped gardens.

👍 One of the most famous Buddhist temples in the West. There are food stalls and markets every Sunday. Vegetarian friendly. Very authentic and traditional Vietnamese foods are available for purchase. (Payment in Cash only) Dining tables are available for dine-in in the dining hall. It's also available...

This wooden arch & statue commemorates the work of returned WWI soldiers who built Great Ocean Road.

👍👍 Stunning bridge with some great photo opportunities. Different bridge viewpoints either side, and some nice walks nearby too. Dogs are allowed on leash, although caution near the top of the railway line and the steep drop. A few parking areas, with the main parking at the bottom of the bridge. Infor...

A 19th-century building with a museum showcasing the history of Melbourne & Victoria.

👍👍 Beautiful clean blue waters. Water is always calm here, saw a starfish, sting ray, lots of fish and crabs. Great spot for the kids to pick seashells too!

Art gallery & artists’ community that offers exhibitions, concerts, festivals & creative events.

👍👍 Such a beautiful venue for a wedding! I have attached over 30 pictures for reference. The parking is at the back: $30 until 4pm, and only $10 after 4pm :) The exterior is very well maintained. The wedding that I shot there had a little over 100 guests, and they all fit under cover very happily. We...

👍👍 Pretty mean way to refer to your mother but it's none of my business I guess. The blow and the hole were great, awesome views. Really nice picture spot especially if you're not wearing pants.

👍👍 Went there this summer for a wedding. The space is like a blank canvas, you can design as much as you like, or keep the simplicity of the raw open space. I like the interior very much. The staff is also very helpful and food is very tempting and delicious. What an amazing venue for a wedding.

😠 We were kicked out for taking photos with flash on (in the dark) and for taking a hit from a vape. Fair enough for the vape thing but it wasn’t a warning — we were just kicked out… OF THE BUILDING! Could or could not be racially motivated (we’re Asians, I still don’t want to assume) because one whit...

Iconic Gothic office & commercial building designed by Marcus Barlow & constructed in 1932.

👍👍 Great surf spot with easy access and parking.

👍👍 This was an emotional experience for me as it is where my parents first met. Lois was brilliant in her introduction to the history of the Bonegila Camp. As a former resident, she has a connection to the place. We spent a few hours exploring and then Wendy helped to introduce us to the National Arch...

👍 Nice to see some sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and alpacas, plus other stuff in the outer burbs. Kids liked feeding the chickens most of all.
