“The Melbourne museum was a perfect one day experience. We arrived at 1 PM and managed to see everything with the exception of the gut bacteria exhibit. So many fascinating things on display. Thanks for putting together such as great museum!” – Scott S.

Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria – Melbourne Gardens

Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens was established in 1846 by Lieutenant Governor Charles La Trobe. Over the next 60 years this swampy site was transformed into the world-famous landscape we know today. In 1958, Queen Elizabeth II bestowed the ‘Royal’ prefix on the Gardens.

Ferdinand von Mueller was appointed Director of the Gardens in 1857. He built on the work of Curators John Arthur (1846-49) and John Dallachy (1849-57). Mueller’s achievements included a plantation of conifers to demonstrate their usefulness to Victoria, a fountain in the middle of the lagoon, and a formal garden to show the relationships between families of plants. In 1867 the Giant Waterlily, one of the great horticultural wonders of the time, flowered for the first time in Melbourne.

REVIEWS:

“Well worth a visit. There are some spectacular plants here and some lovely birds too. We visited on a bit of a rainy day but in the sunshine it must be stunning. There is lots to see, you could easily lose an afternoon exploring. A lovely place to get away from the hustle of the city for a while and ready to access by tram or walking from the centre.” – Eloise O.

Shrine of Remembrance

The Shrine of Remembrance is a war memorial in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, located in Kings Domain on St Kilda Road. It was built to honour the men and women of Victoria who served in World War I, but is now a memorial to all Australians who have served in war.

Designed by architects Phillip Hudson and James Wardrop who were both World War I veterans, the Shrine is in a classical style, being based on the Tomb of Mausolus at Halicarnassus and the Parthenon in Athens,Greece. The crowning element at the top of the memorial’s ziggurat roof references the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates. Built from Tynong granite, the Shrine originally consisted only of the central sanctuary surrounded by the ambulatory. The sanctuary contains the  Stone of Remembrance, upon which is engraved the words “Greater love hath no man”. Once a year, on 11 November at 11 a.m. (Remembrance Day), a ray of sunlight shines through an aperture in the roof to light up the word “Love” in the inscription. Beneath the sanctuary lies the crypt, which contains a bronze statue of a soldier father and son, and panels listing every unit of the Australian Imperial Force.

“Words cannot completely describe how amazing this place is. So much effort has been put in to maintain this place, to show respect and gratitude for the lives lost protecting our freedoms. Be sure to go inside and walk to the top to take in the view of the city.” – Emily E.
