What a great way to spend a family morning, watching the planes land at Melbourne Airport at their viewing area. You can just park your car and you won't have to wait more than a couple of minutes for a take off or landing. It's free, you can bring your own food or grab an ice-cream from the waiting gelati truck (we were there on a Sunday). You can also get an incredible view of the planes from Woodlands Historic Park. While we were in the area we also visited the Bulla Hill Miniature Railway (every first and third Sunday of the month) and Living Legends, where we got up close to some retired champion race horses.
