So you're in Melbourne this weekend, huh? Buckle up, buttercup!
This fine city's bursting with more things to do than possums in a trash can (and trust me, that's a lot). But fear not, weary traveller, for I'm here to be your guide through the glorious chaos.
Shining Bright Like a Diamond (or Fairy Lights):
- Lightscape at the Royal Botanic Gardens: Think dazzling light installations, fireflies on steroids, and enough sparkle to rival a magpie's loot collection. It's basically Disneyland for adults (minus the overpriced churros, but with more fabulous winter coats).
- Gumbuya Dreaming at Federation Square: Speaking of sparkle, get your dose of Indigenous storytelling bathed in the warm glow of lights. It's a feast for the eyes and the soul, with a healthy dose of cultural immersion.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.

| What Do In Melbourne This Weekend |
History Buffs, Assemble!
- Pharaoh at the National Gallery of Victoria: Unleash your inner Indiana Jones and delve into the fascinating world of ancient Egypt. Mummies (minus the scary curses, hopefully), hieroglyphics, and artefacts galore – it's like stepping into a real-life tomb... without the whole being-eaten-by-scarabs thing.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
Foodies, This One's for You:
- Free to Feed Winter Feasts: Looking to warm your belly and your spirits? These cosy pop-up dining experiences will tantalize your taste buds and leave you feeling like a cuddly koala. Think heartwarming stews, decadent desserts, and enough mulled wine to make even the Grinch crack a smile.
Need a Laugh (Because Seriously, Who Doesn't):
Reminder: Save this article to read offline later.
- Kings of Comedy: Indulge in a night of side-splitting laughter with this uncensored, underground comedy show. Just be prepared – it might get a little bit (okay, a lot) raunchy.
