Albert Park Lake
For those days when the ‘buzz’ of the city becomes less of a thrill and more of an irritation, you’ll need a few ‘green’ spots to help recharge. Luckily Melbourne has quite a selection.
Albert Park Lake is probably most famous for being the site of the contentious Grand Prix. Opponents believe that the vast lake – a sanctuary for an assortment of wildlife as well as many frazzled humans - shouldn’t be traumatized by the ‘whirring’ of racing cars and the stench of burning rubber. During the non-Grand Prix months you’ll be able to sit under a shady tree and watch the majestic swans glide by.
Carousal, a stylish, casual café perched on the eastern edge of the 4.7km walking track, serves breaky, light lunches and a not too shabby coffee.
