Nature and Wildlife around Melbourne- a treat for your leisure time

The second most populous city in Australia, Melbourne is situated on the gigantic natural bay named Port Phillip. Being one of the world's wealthiest and largest cities and a centre of entertainment, arts, education, commerce, tourism and sport aren't the only attributes of this metropolis; it is also extremely rich with the treasures of nature and wildlife.

A not to be missed area in Melbourne is the Otaways area enclosing spectacular natural attractions including towering trees, wet fern gullies and noisy yet elegant waterfalls. And at night time the surroundings are magically lit by glow worms, giving clear glimpses of adorable koala bears hugging the trees while monkeys roam from tree to tree as if to sneak up on you. Get up close and personal with the endearing kangaroos and add more delight to your experience by adapting to a native activity, canoeing. And it's good to always be on the alert as this whole area is one massive wildlife sanctuary.

Another true work of nature is the Port Campbell National Park which houses the Great Ocean Road's most iconic vision, the Twelve Apostles. These huge cliffs and striking rock formations rising straight out of the ocean have taken millions of years to be created and one look at the fascinating sight makes it obvious that it was worth taking the time to observe. This amazing view can be relished from different angles with its beauty intensified by the sight of dozens of bird species, bottle-nosed dolphins and Australian fur seals who come up happily to greet you.

Melbourne is home to some truly distinctive wildlife and no trip to this city would be complete without having an encounter with the lovable penguins at Phillip Island; in fact this is the home of Australia's most popular wildlife attraction, the Penguin Parade. The world's largest little penguin colony exists here, which, with every sunset, emerge from the sea one by one and march to their sand dune holes with their quirky walk. As the little penguin is the world's cutest penguin, this parade is truly a natural phenomenon you must witness at least once in your life.

If ever you should feel the need to unwind after an exciting day of travel in Melbourne, there is an array of Melbourne spas prepared to cater to your needs. The Chuan Spa can be recommended in this regard as it specializes in day spas facilities and offers a variety of treatment packages to suit your desires.
