Live-streamed OUTDOORS from Melbourne's gardens, streets, laneways and significant buildings


I invite you to an OUTDOORS Live Virtual Tour delivered personally by me that will showcase some of Melbourne's best and most beautiful gardens, historic buildings and famous laneways.

On this tour there is something different and interesting to see every minute, beginning with a beautiful garden setting on the edge of the city and then moving to our state government precinct, an imposing church, a stunning theatre and colourful Chinatown.

We will wander through some laneways where the best street art and cafes can be found . . . only with a local's help! We save the best until the end . . . an intersection where we find a hotel, a church, a station and the city's main public square.

This tour is a great way to be introduced to the vibrant city of Melbourne.
