Take your time exploring Grampians National Park
Melbourne is not only famous for its outstanding cultural and artistic landmarks but also attracts visitors with its stunning natural scenery and diverse climate. Located in the Southern Hemisphere, Melbourne experiences the opposite seasons compared to Europe and North America, offering a unique experience with warm summers, mild autumns and springs, and moderately cold winters. With large temperature fluctuations throughout the day, visitors can even experience all four seasons in a single day. It would be a shame not to step outside and breathe in the fresh air and admire the lush greenery of Grampians National Park.
