ChickenLentilSoup Best spot to watch the Grand Prix from!

Andreas Ludwig Stunning park and lake. Lots of space to exercise, relax, walk the dog or just enjoy the news and the weather. My dog and I had some hours to kill, waiting for my wife, and used the time to walk around the lake. Wonderful views, rest areas and views. Very happy 2 hours!

Michael Surname Great place to watch fireworks and Moomba. Plenty of rides and food vans. As I had dinner before I came, they were not very good to me. But the smells were okay. Theres not much wind around.

Shawn Zhang A wonderful spot to watch the sunset, Melbourne skyline, and people, lots of people. Very busy over the long weekend, and probably most weekends too. Parking right at the lookout can be tricky to find, but if you are happy to walk 10 minutes, then you should be fine. Still worth the trip as the view is beautiful!
