You know how the song goes - The Best Things in Life Are Free, and here in Melbourne, there are so many things you can do and see - for free. That's right - at no cost at all.
Melbourne museum if you have a concession card or are a child.
Walk through the botanical gardens and visit to the Ian potter memorial kids gardens there.
A stroll through the Melbourne markets
Watching the clock unfold in Melbourne central at the shot tower and watching the birds and characters come out and sing on the hour.
Tasting the best lollies at suga in royal arcade or queen Victoria market.
Walking over the amazing bridge between southern cross stadium and docklands.

The Botanical Gardens, either for a jog or walk. Its a great place to wander and learn about all the different botanical species as well as grab a breath of fresh air, have a picnic or have a bite to eat at their cafe or across the at one of the eateries on Domain Road.

There is a fantastic book market at Federation Square in the atrium every Saturday. You can spend hours there perusing the tables. It wont cost a thing (unless you want to purchase a book).

BTW - my dad cut most of the glass for the roof of the NGV
There's still chunks of it lying around his house in it's beautiful colours.
We are about to renovate and I am having a pile of opals gemstones and these chunks of the left over glass thrown into the concrete of our new floor. Then I have a concrete cutter who will cut it back so all the treasures show through and polish it into a lovely floor.
Nice to see the above picture of the roof.
