[AU; 2024] Melbourne | South Melbourne Market \ St Kilda \ Brighton
Day out to explore the southern part of Melbourne city! And it is very easy to move around the area with the tram / bus services. It is not within the free zone so please get a transport card!
1. South Melbourne Market
Strangely we didn't find this place on google map or guides and etc, instead we saw many people alighting the station and decided to follow.South Melbourne Market
Lots of seafood stalls - oysters time!
It was a fun time in the market - recommended!
2. St Kilda
Galleon Cafe
It was a very very busy cafe with lots of vintage furniture, perfect spot for brunch!Galleon Cafe
Loved how clean their platings were!
No doubts - recommend!
St Kilda Esplanade Market
St Kilda Esplanade Market
We were told how amazing the market was during weekend, with hundred over stalls to shop... but we only saw a handful of them open. Unsure was it the timing, but they were supposed to be opened until late afternoon.
A few good buys from the handmade stuffs, but overall it was rather disappointing, I won't recommend if you only have time in the afternoon to visit it.
Sightseeing around St Kilda
St Kilda Beach
Pretty beach that you can spot it from far!
It is also a place where you can spot little penguins - they can be spotted at the breakwater at the end of St Kilda pier, best viewing time is after sunset, and it happens every night I believe!
Palais Theatre
Palais Theatre is a very classic theatre that hosts many popular musical, and performance. I heard that the theatre interior is very impressive!
Luna Park
Luna Park which has the Great Scenic Railway! It is the oldest wooden roller coaster in the world. Such a pity that it was closed on that day I visited it.
But the entrance was quite impressive to take an IG photo.
High-tea
We wanted to have some cakes at Black Star Pastry to try the Strawberry Watermelon Cake... but they are sold out :(
The Acland Cake Shop
It doesn't have the best review on google, but the cakes around the shop makes it an interesting place to try out.
The food and beverage was average, but a good place to chill and chat with a friend or two. Beware there were birds flying around which made me nervous.
Brighton
Brighton Beach
Brighton beach
The famous bathhouses! And it is a must to take with the one with the Australia flag painted on it! (Ignore me in the photo :D)
The Baths Middle Brighton
We found a nice spot for dinner and to catch the sunset :)
The Baths Middle Brighton
The food was alright and the service was good. What was really gold was the sunset:
This ends the day trip perfectly!
