Be aware that to ride on most busses, trains and trams, you need to have a myrki card. You can get them from most newsagents.

Yes - go to South bank -
have one small bet at the casino -
have a nice meal at one of the top restaurants -
get a 30 minute river boat ride out into the harbor -
then head off to Ackland street St Kilda for a nice cappuccino &
a walk along the beach to the pier where the penguins are.
You could even do some fishing from the pier.

You could also travel to the look out at the Dandenong ranges
& have tea & scones at many nice places up there.

The Botanic Gardens are great - close to the city.
There is a restaurant there too.
