Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. Montsalvat http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20169
Built in the '30s by Justus Jorgensen, it was a retreat for artists and sculptors. These days it's a nice place to visit on a quiet Sunday afternoon to view the various art exhibitions and sculptures (or in my case a celebration of a wedding in the Great Hall).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20169 Sealer's cove http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16463 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16463 Take a Walk Through The Laneways & Arcades http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12822
I used a free podcast from Talk'N Tours which was great but there are others available.

I got to see street art, quirky shops and a good bit of the central city sights as I wound my way along the back streets and through alleyways I otherwise wouldn't have.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12822 Chinatown and the Chinese Museum http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11147 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11147 Mcmillans of Metung http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9656 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9656 Cape Bridgewater http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9236
Cape Bridgewater is a headland formed by volcanic action and exposed to all the forces of the ocean. Apart from the seal colony, there are blowholes and 'the petrified' forest to see.
The kiosk on the beach at Bridgewater Bay serves great fish and chips!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9236 Australian Garden http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6989 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6989 The Tan http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6970
The Tan is a wide flat track around the outside of the Botanical gardens, and it’s home to joggers, runners, walkers and pusher pushers. Watch out for the footballers though as they try and complete a lap in record time.

Best of all: it’s free (bring your own running shoes).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6970 Werribee Open Range Zoo http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6936 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6936 Mount Dandenong Observatory http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6856 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6856 Dandenong Ranges National Park http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4779 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4779 Studley Park http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4639 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4639 Bayside Coastal Art Trail http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4589 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4589 Churchill Island http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/900 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/900
