Trip to Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺
When we first reached Melbourne, we started our day with a leisurely stroll through Melbourne's laneways, known for their vibrant street art, charming cafes, and eclectic shops. We started from Hosier Lane and explored around laneways like AC/DC Lane and Degraves Street.
📍Federation Square, Melbourne VIC 3000,
We also visited the iconic Queen Victoria Market, one of the largest open-air markets in the Southern Hemisphere. There were many stalls selling fresh produce, gourmet foods, clothing, souvenirs, and more. The market is definitely worth to visit 💯
Queen Victoria Market
📍Queen St, Melbourne VIC 3000.
We also experienced Melbourne's cultural scene by attending a performance at one of its renowned theaters, such as the Melbourne Recital Centre and Arts Centre Melbourne. Do checked out their schedules for concerts, plays, or dance performances to prevent disappointment 🤣
Besides, we also took a scenic stroll along the Yarra River, starting at Southbank Promenade and crossing the pedestrian bridges for panoramic views of the city skyline. We accessed the Southbank Promenade from along the river and we also visited the most famous Brighton Beach to see the iconic Brighton Bathing Boxes, a row of colorful wooden huts lining the shore. We enjoy a very relaxing afternoon on the beach and took a swim in the refreshing waters of Port Phillip Bay.
📍Brighton Beach is located in the suburb of Brighton, accessible by train from Melbourne's city center
I would also recommend you to try my favourite restaurant, Cumulus Inc. It is a popular dining spot located in Melbourne's central business district that has a contemporary Australian menu with a focus on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. This restaurant has relaxed atmosphere, stylish decor, and excellent service 🙌🙌 Prices vary depending on the menu items and drinks chosen, but we spent around $50-$70 AUD per person for a meal. The food was all very delicious and definitely worth to try out!
Cumulus Inc.
📍45 Flinders Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

Melbourne’s Iconic Colorful Bathing Boxes
#melbournetrip #visitmelbourne #melbourne #australia
It’s winter time here Down Under but that means the beach is not as crowded as usual. It was a sunny 15 degree Celcius and I got myself out to Brighton Beach to check out those iconic colorful bathing boxes! It was relatively easy to get there with public bus, 5-10 minutes walk from the stop, and you’ll get there!
As it is the only things to see at Brighton Beach, 15-30 minutes are probably enough if you don’t need to take photo on each of those boxes. You can head to some cafes around, just make sure to be there before 3PM because the cafes close early.
How to Get There : drive, take taxi, or take public Bus 600, 922 or 923 (pay attention to the schedule though, it only comes every 20-30mins)
Bright & Sunny Brighton Beach, Melbourne
#wecreate memories on this beach! 🤩 Just 20min away by car from the city, it was a good place to getaway to chill and enjoy the seaside.
The colourful beachhouses are the highlight and are absolutely eye-catching! With a variety of themes, one can pose with them depending on one’s creativity!
There is a parking lot nearer the Brighton Beach Gardens as the parking lot for the beach itself is under maintenance. Do remember to pay for parking at the machine ✅
There are benches to sit around to take in the scenery. Bring sunnies on a bright day to better enjoy the sight!
Once you’ve had your fill of the seabreeze, head over to Swordfish Chippery for some yummy fish and chips! They even offer banana and pineapple fritters…I was curious but not enough to spend on fried pineapple 😂 If you do try it, could you let me know?
Colourful beach boxes @ Brighton! 💖
Melbourne is famous for its Brighton bathing boxes, and wouldn’t you know there is a pretty pink one! This stretch of beach down Esplanade is quiet with few tourists, allowing you to get all the pictures you want. There are also many interesting and unique designs, which I’m sure you’ll find one to love. Did you know that the bathing boxes are privately owned? So the designs are actually chosen by their owners! With government approval of course.
Address: Esplanade, Brighton VIC 3186

Brighton bathing boxes

Colorful Beach huts
The brighton beach in melbourne is amongst the most recognizable ones thanks to the colorful bathing boxes. These are huts owned by locals tk store their stuff and beach related equipment. Colorful ones with different art work on some. I have been told that one of these huts recently sold for over 300k USD. This made me want to come see these silly boxes in person and a beach day.
In terms of a beach it is a fine one, I went swimming and was able to borrow things. There are not very many shops and restaurants closer to the beach but good options on the jetty road. I did notice quite a lot of people even drunk but that may not be the case always. It was a weekday noon, yet there were people around. It's not bad for a trip at all.

Exploring Brighton Beach in Melbourne
From downtown Melbourne, it takes about 30 minutes by train, and then a bit more walking to reach Brighton beach easily. The highlight here is the brightly colored Bathing boxes lined up on the beach, which are old Victorian-era bathing houses used as changing rooms. Each box has its owner, but tourists can still take photos with them.
This beach has three parts stretching along Port Phillip Bay: Upper Brighton Beach, Middle Brighton Beach, and Dendy Street Beach.
Moreover, if we have time to walk around the Brighton area, every house is beautiful, like something out of a magazine.

Also known as "Little Odessa" due its tight-knit Russian and Eastern European communities, Brooklyn's Brighton Beach is a lively neighborhood with many high-rise residential buildings.

Splashy nightclubs attract partiers in the evenings.

Getting there: take the train 🚆 from Flinders Street Station to Brighton Beach and it’s about a 10 minute walk from there.
Food and Drink: The beach is in a pretty residential area and I didn’t see any restaurants or shops while I was there. It’s the perfect opportunity to bring a picnic! 🧺
Things to do:
1️⃣ Go swimming 🏊♀️ The water was pretty chilly for me but if the weather is warmer you should take a dip!
2️⃣ Go walking 🚶♀️ The beach is a great place to stretch your legs and there are some nice views of Melbourne along the way!
3️⃣ Brighton Beach Huts 📸 The main reason for coming here is the iconic beach huts! I spent about an hour stopping by each hut to take pictures and it was a lot of fun. Surprisingly, it wasn’t that crowded!
So make sure you add Brighton Beach to your Melbourne Itinerary! ✨
