A Cosy Melbourne Escape
Soon it will be winter in Australia and nowhere does it better than Melbourne: wander the streets through early morning fog to Queen Victoria Markets before enjoying a late breakfast at one of Melbourne’s many cafes. Take a casual tour of Southbank on your way to an afternoon of ‘aerial ping-pong’ at the MCG.  And for a truly icy break, the ski fields are just three hours away... the magic of winter is here. Fly direct from Townsville to Melbourne with Jetstar or travel via Brisbane with Virgin Blue and Qantas.
