A visit to the historic landmark Cooks' Cottage, situated in the beautiful heritage-listed Fitzroy Gardens, is a must when exploring Melbourne. Built in 1755, Cooks' Cottage is the oldest building in Australia and a popular Melbourne tourist attraction. Originally located in Yorkshire, England, and built by the parents of Captain James Cook, the cottage was brought to Melbourne by Sir Russell Grimwade in 1934. Astonishingly, each brick was individually numbered, packed into barrels and then shipped to Australia. Combining modern interpretations of Captain Cook's adventures, centuries-old antiques, a delightful English cottage garden and volunteers dressed in 18th century costumes, Cooks' Cottage is a fascinating step back in time. Entry to the cottage includes a comprehensive fact sheet for a self-guided tour. Available in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, German, French and Korean. School tours and group visits/tours are available. Seasonal school holiday programs and special events are also held throughout the year. Tickets and souvenirs can be purchased from the Fitzroy Gardens Visitor Centre, just 100 metres away. Location: Fitzroy Gardens Wellington Parade East Melbourne VIC 3002 Opening hours Mon-Sun: 9am – 5pm * Closed Christmas Day * Last entry at 4.45pm

Arts & Culture

http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/ This is one of my favourite places in Melbourne. They have great art and bring in great exhibitions. They have memberships which are great value if you're a regular to the gallery. I also love their Friday nights at the NGV. You'll get to dance, see art, eat, drink and listen to music. So worth it! “This gallery never disappoints”

Melbourne Museum is a natural and cultural history museum located in the Carlton Gardens in Melbourne, Australia, adjacent to the Royal Exhibition Building. It was designed by Denton Corker Marshall Architects and finished construction in 2001. Situated in the Carlton Gardens, it was commissioned by the Victorian Government Office of Major Projects on behalf of Museums Victoria.

It is now an important part of Melbourne’s soft infrastructure. It is the largest museum in the Southern Hemisphere, and is a venue of Museum Victoria, which also operates the Immigration Museum and Scienceworks Museum. The museum has seven main galleries, a Children's Gallery and a temporary exhibit gallery on three levels, Upper, Ground and Lower Level and was constructed by Baulderstone Hornibrook.

Food Scene

Trendy Spanish style bar offering an extensive drinks menu and tapas or 'pintxos'. This is a Melbourne favourite! Hold on to your tapas toothpicks so that the staff can tally your bill at the end! The real star on sunny days is the rooftoop bar, Naked In The Sky. Take the old lift up to enjoy yet more drinks and food and some fantastic views of Melbourne's north. Be sure to arrive early to avoid the queues in the summer months. About a 20 minute drive or taxi ride from The Corner House. Open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week.
