На новогодних каникулах начала потихоньку готовиться к нашему путешествию. Так как у нас не без помощи Emirates добавился лишний денек в Мельбурне, погрузилась в его изучение.
Нашла очень толковый сайт (правда, на английском языке, но мы ведь и едем в англоговорящие страны
)
https://whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au/Pages/Home.aspx
На его страницах много полезной информации, но я хотела бы остановиться
на бесплатных экскурсиях,
в которых можно принять участие во время нашего пребывания в Мельбурне. Внимательно читайте информацию на сайтах, так как для участия в некоторых экскурсиях требуется предварительное бронирование мест
