Melbourne is a city of contrasts as it has the buzz of a large cosmopolitan city, but also the feel of a relaxed, laid back place. This contrast is maintained through the numerous leisure activities that the city offers. There are several picturesque lakes and waterfalls to be enjoyed in Melbourne and the surrounding areas. The Trentham Falls, deep in Wombat State Forest, provide a spectacular setting for having a picnic or just relaxing. Yarra Falls, less than an hour drive from Melbourne, is a wonderful site to spend a day enjoying the natural environment and the beauty of the area.
