Best Shopping Malls in Dandenong Area

"Enter at Degraves Street, which is lined with cafés and coffee shops, then cross Collins Street to visit the exquisite, 1892-built Block Arcade. The arcade is full of old-world charm, from antique jewellery stores to traditional tailors and the treasured Hopetoun Tea Rooms. In the afternoon take a stroll around the Royal Botanic Gardens or join a tour to see the inner sanctum of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). If you're visiting between March and September make sure you see a game of AFL (Australian rules football)."

"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."

"Australia’s rich maritime history unravels through the Polly Woodside ship that has preserved antiquity in its bowels. The ship was launched in Belfast in 1885, and had sailed 1.5 million kilometres around the globe. Today, it is located in Melbourne's South Wharf precinct and is one of the major attractions of the city."

"Polly Woodside is a three-masted iron-hulled barque, built in Belfast in 1885. She carried coal, nitrate, and wheat between Britain and South America, then cargo in the New Zealand trade. She became a coal hulk in 1923, and was used as a service lighter in WWII in New Guinea."

"A museum ship is a perfect hands-on experience that will delight kids of all ages. In Melbourne, have a look at the Polly Woodside which can be found at 21 South Wharf Promenade. The ship is 130 years old and has circumnavigated the world 17 times!"
