Melbourne
A curated activity & dining reference for those who want to experience Melbourne with with small hands in yours
Melbourne is more of a working city than Sydney, which suits a small traveller well — neighbourhoods are flatter, the trams are free in the CBD, and there are more parks than is reasonable.

Getting Around & Other tips
The CBD's Free Tram Zone covers most of what you'll want — get on, tap nothing, ride. Outside the zone, use a contactless card. Trams are pram-accessible but the older "high-floor" models need a small lift; most newer ones are level-boarding.
Skybus from Melbourne Airport to Southern Cross is fastest at peak; an Uber is easier with bags and a child seat (request one).
Melbourne weather is a fact, not an opinion. Pack like you're going somewhere four seasons colder than you've researched, and dress the toddler in layers you can strip on the tram. A weather-proof pram cover earns its keep here.
Until the next escape,
