Melbourne: Activities

• surfing

  Try kitesurfing in the waters off St Kilda Beach.

• roller skating

  Rollerblading is a tradition along the Esplanade in Port Melbourne, Middle Park, St Kilda and Elwood.

• canoeing/kayaking

  Rent a canoe or kayak at Kew Boathouse for a leisurely paddle along the Yarra.

• jogging

  Be one of the beautiful people giving their pot-bellies the slip as they run around the Tan - a running track surrounding Melbourne's Botanical Gardens.

• cycling

  The Main Yarra Trail, east of the city, is a favourite way to escape the city buzz.

• Australian Rules

  For the ultimate football experience choose a blockbuster game at the MCG on a Saturday afternoon - or park your car along the boundary line of a suburban game to watch a bunch of middle-aged wannabes dish it out in the mud.
