Point Ormond Lookout - Elwood,VIC

Akrem Jaouadi You absolutely must visit Melbournes Shrine of Remembrance. This magnificent architectural landmark stands as a powerful memorial to the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War. Beyond its profound historical significance, its elevated location offers some of the best vantage points for sweeping city views. Its a truly unique place where history and stunning vistas unite.

Michael Milligan Great viewing point

Jim Fisher Such a beautiful experience with amazing cakes and other delights, not to mention the old world tea cups and tea pot. Great service.. a must to visit.

Manini Dhar It is a lovely place to visit if you are located close to the city, particularly on a sunny day. The sunset views are to die for, and one can also see a beautiful view of the city skyline. The pier has been recently renovated and is now open from the morning till 5 PM. There are ample places to sit, few cafes nearby to enjoy a cup of hot coffee and has nice walking tracks too. Summers are quite crowded. The best part about this pier is one can see little penguins near the rocks by the pier, particularly during sunset. It is advisable to keep silence near the rocks so as to not disturb the penguins while clicking their photos.

Quynh Nguyen Queen Victoria Market is a must-visit spot in Melbourne, especially if you love food, culture, and local vibes. The market is full of energy, with a huge variety of fresh produce, meats, seafood, cheeses, and deli items. There are also food stalls offering delicious street food, coffee, and baked goods – perfect for breakfast or lunch. Apart from the food, you’ll find clothes, souvenirs, handmade crafts, and more. It’s a great place to explore, even if you’re just browsing. The atmosphere is lively, friendly, and full of character, and it gives you a real taste of Melbourne’s local life. It can get busy, especially on weekends, but that’s part of the fun. Everything feels authentic, and the vendors are usually helpful and passionate about their products. Don’t forget to check out the night markets if they’re on – live music, food trucks, and a great vibe. Highly recommended for both locals and tourists!

Fabrizia Barrowcliffe Just saw the most amazingly talented bunch of acrobats, musicians, actors, singers and performers from the Lyttelton theatre company. Performing a mesmerising show entitled Berlin burlesque. Based on a true story. Absolutely sensational, not very risqué until right at the end, funny entertaining and full of energy. Gorgeous little intimate theatre- don’t miss it! Only on another 16 nights. Really fabulous!

amit kapuria 5 Stars – A Truly Divine Experience ISKCON Melbourne is a spiritual gem in the heart of the city. The temple is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and filled with divine energy. The deities are stunning and the daily aartis and kirtans uplift the soul. The devotees are welcoming and always ready to help newcomers feel at home. The Sunday Feast is a highlight – delicious vegetarian food served with love, accompanied by inspiring talks and joyous chanting. It’s more than just a place of worship; it’s a community that promotes peace, compassion, and devotion. Highly recommended for anyone seeking spiritual growth, cultural connection, or just a peaceful break from daily life.

L Dilley A lovely park (no bikes allowed) with a tennis court, lawn bowling facility and playground. Plenty of places to sit in the shade or sun. If you visit in the evening you will be sure to find some cheeky possums. Dog friendly!

Raquel Robinson Went to Moomba here, one day spent on the Birrarang Marr side, the next day spent over at the Alexander Park side of the water. It was really hot the days I went so was hiding in the shade which theres a lot of, water is nice, watching the jet ski show, parked at Melbourne park $7.50 for the day if no event at their venue. Recommend prebooking parking as its a lot cheaper
