Melbourne's Chinatown district was first established back in the 1850w during the Victorian gold rush era, making it the longest continuous Chinese settlement in the western world. As such, it's also the oldest Chinatown in the southern hemisphere. This vibrant quarter of town is lined with karaoke bars, duty free stores and so many fantastic little restaurants, it's hard to know which one to choose. Located along Little Bourke Street and it's surrounding lanes and streets, we recommend dumplings at Shanghai Village, mains at Supper Inn, and the desserts at Secret Kitchen.

You can feel the weight of the past as soon as you step into the grounds and look up to the gothic spires of the Abbotsford Convent. The complex began as a convent in the late 1800s, and was also a commercial laundry, orphanage and aged care facility. These days, it’s a hub for artists, makers, community radio broadcasters and teachers – as well as a beautiful place to explore. Check out the work of local artists in the galleries, then roam the green hills and gardens and have a vegetarian feast at Lentil as Anything; the restaurant run by volunteers where you pay what you feel the meal is worth.

A nice 20 minute walk to Fordham’s Milk Bar. This may be the oldest standing milk bar in Melbourne, but thanks to an upgrade just two years ago, it now doubles as a humming café. While still honouring its former life as a regular convenience store – you can purchase cartons of milk, soft drinks and lollies or top up your Myki – the right side offers the option to linger for coffee, breakfast, lunch or a seemingly endless list of cakes and slices. Like all good gourmet milk bars, there is also the option for take away, with a number of salads and pies to choose from.

The part-bar, part-arcade takes over the location where Los Barbudos, a Cuban-themed watering hole, used to be. Framed photos of Cuban baseball legends has been replaced by an 8-bit mural of '80s retro icons including Pac-Man, Nike Air Jordans, and a boombox. Those familiar with old-school arcade classics can expect tipsy rounds of Daytona, Street Fighter II, Pac-Man and Buck Hunter.

Make no mistake: this bar has been instrumental in making Melbourne the nation’s live music capital. Not too much has changed about this rough-and-ready dive bar in its 17 years; you’ll find it down AC/DC Lane, its soft red glow illuminating the graffiti. Bands play pretty much every night here, and vary from up-and-coming local acts to major players from Australia and beyond.

With locations in St Kilda and Carlton, Milk the Cow’s over-the-top, calcium-boosting menu has been responsible for many a cheese dream. But what else would you expect from a licensed fromagerie home to more than 150 types of cheese? Cheese and wine flights are a popular pick, with a classic pairing of 90ml wine with 30g cheese going for $33. Patrons can also pretend it’s 1967 by ordering fondue pots filled with bubbling gruyère, try baked Yarra Valley Yering brie covered in French cider, truffle honey and figs, and sample Higgs & Co gelato infused with cheese. Oh, and there’s also cocktails garnished with cheese.

A two and a half hour trip from melbourne is Phillip Island: a chunk of coastal heaven famed for its penguins and seals. The craggy shoreline is broken up by numerous beaches perfect for swimming, surfing and seal watching: there are more seals living on the isalnd than humans. However, giving the seals a run for their money in the cute stakes are Phillip Island’s Little Penguins. Every night, like clockwork, you can watch the tiny penguins come ashore at Summerland beach and march like little, feathery soldiers into their sandy burrows.

St Kilda is defined by two main strips, Fitzroy Street and Acland Street, with the famous St Kilda Esplanade providing a pleasant link between the two. While Fitzroy Street is all retail shops, gyms and fancy restaurants, Acland is a haven for cake lovers. The cake shops and bakeries lining the street have been making Melbourne a sweeter place since 1934, and are still serving up Eastern European classics thick and fast: make sure you try the plain cheesecake from Europa Cake Shop, the vanilla slice at Le Bon Continental Cake Shop and the chocolate Kugelhaumpf at Monarch.

It’s amazing how quickly suburban Melbourne gives away to the lush, rolling green hills of the Yarra Valley. It’s one of Victoria’s premier food and wine destinations and just over an hour from the Melbourne CBD. The valley is awash with wineries offering tours, cellar doors and gourmet dining experiences: take your pick from locals like De Bortoli, Rochford Wines, Kellybrook and Coldstream Hills.
