Botanic Gardens
Shrine of Remembrance
Queen Victoria Market and/or the weekend market in South Melbourne (check the schedule)
walking and people-watching at St. Kilda's beach
Day Trips (You can do these with bus tours) and IMO they're "MUST" sees:
the Great Ocean Road
the penguin parade at Phillip's Island
LOVE Melbourne. Have fun.

I love markets in general and the Queen Victoria Market is wonderful. They have a big fresh food section but also a huge area selling general goods - anything and everything. It's not on every day.
Wandering through the lanes and alleyways in Melbourne can be fun. Start at Flinders St Station, walk through Degraves St and keep on walking, via laneways, until you reach the Bourke St Mall. Often there are a few lanes all going in one direction, so you can double back and take a different route. Don't miss the Block Arcade and Royal Arcade.
The historic Shot Tower at Melbourne Central, under the newer clear dome, is worth a look too.

My favourite thing to do in Melbourne is to go to Heide Museum of Modern Art. The shows are always good, often much more interesting than NGV, and the historic site associated with patrons of Melbourne Modernism is also interesting. It's a short train ride from Flinders st Station then a bus. The cafe is amazing, run by an excellent Melbourne chef.

Also known affectionately as 'Vic Market' or 'Queen Vic', the Queen Victoria Market has been the heart and soul of Melbourne for more than a century.
Yes, it's open on Friday.

Maybe, ahotpoet, the cheap fairs are gone, but I can still get there and back for about $80.
Still trying to decide whether this is a good idea (although I would like to meet some other Fodories)
