OK! What EXCITING things are there to do in Melbourne?

So we're heading down for a day and a half.





And everyone is suggesting "ooh Botanical Gardens" or "ooh, go on a nice walking tour" or "ooh, you can go shopping".





But let's get this straight. Sightseeing and shopping is actually pretty boring. I don't wanna go to the casino and I don't want to visit any galleries.





What is there to do in Melbourne as a tourist that is actually exciting or involves being active and possibly working up a sweat???





Thankyou.

OK! What EXCITING things are there to do in Melbourne?
Rollerblading along the esplande in St Kilda, checking out the beaches, cool cafes and bars


Doing the Yarra bike ride that takes you all the way from the city through forests and parklands


Hitting the cities 10 million bars and beer gardens ( okay not active but this city has the most amazing licencing laws seriously , try visiting one of the cool hidden bars in the cbd or chinatown, head out to fitzroy and sit in a great beer garden or for that matter south yarra, st kilda, richmond, north melbourne, hawthorn etc.


You could hit the beaches ( try brighton etc rather than st kilda)


Go see a gig at night and work up a sweat that way...
Reply:Charter fishing,horse riding (mornington on beach),play golf at one of the many golf courses in the city,go cart racing (pt melb),indoor paint ball (pt melb),go to the cricket or soccer (if they're on),go on the restaurant tram,check out eureka tower glass walk,explore the many lanes around the CBD (some great bars and cafes),take the ghost tour around the city,head down to torquay for a surf,go to the beach(st kilda,south melb,elwood,etc,go to moonlight cinema (in botanical gardens),try the surf kites at stkilda beach,hit the pubs/clubs/restaurants,see a live band.





p.s mate if you want the theme parks go to the gold coast,because at the end of the day a city is a city,because i can tell you for a fact other major cities don't offer much more,they all have plenty of places to get on the p!$$ and have a bite to eat-some are just nicer and better at it than others.
