“Posh Melbourne is a genteel city of Victorian buildings, verdant parks and a vibrant multicultural heart.” according to our guide as we took a panoramic drive through the “Garden Capital of Australia.”
Our bus headed down the Esplanade with sandy beaches bordered by palm trees before passing through the affluent residential district of Tooral Village. When we stopped at the Royal Botanical Gardens, I was treated to a wonderful display of flora, rolling lawns and even black swans swimming on the lake.
