10 Reasons Why Melbourne Is One Of #GLAadventure's Favourite Cities

From the iconic cricket and football stadiums to buzzing laneway cafes, eye-catching museums to award-winning zoos and aquariums, Melbourne has something for everyone.

After exploring Australia's popular cities like Brisbane, Queensland, Sydney and Bathurst, it was time for #GLAadventure to discover the much talked about town - Melbourne.

Sydney - Bathurst - Melbourne, a 1000km day finally ends at 3am for team #GLAadventure with another milestone crossed. The team successfully completed 32,000 km on this global drive. It was time to get some sleep.

Only here, you will find such cool street names! This one for all the batman fans out there - Yes, that's the street name.

When in Melbourne, a visit to the famous MasterChef restaurant is a must. Can you guess this place name?

Foodies unite! #GLAadventure all set for the food tour at the George Calombaris's restaurant - Gazi.

The quintessential MasterChef Class picture! That's #GLAadventure posing with the real chef of the day - Chef Guillame.

#GLAadventure get their hands dirty in the kitchen. The team tried their hands on the delicious Aleppo pepper, flour dusted and fried soft shell crab souvlaki. Drooling already?

One should definitely try the MasterChef specialty - Grain salad, soft shell crab souvlaki, Gazi chips and a seafood dip. Thank us later!

What's Australia without Football? Whitten Oval stadium should be on your must-visit list when in Australia. Located in the inner-western suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, it is the training and administrative headquarters of the Western Bulldogs Football Club, which competes in the Australian Football League.

Cricket fan or not, you simply cannot afford to miss out on this place! Yes, we are talking about the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). It is impossible not to be moved by the imposing structure, the history of an iconic ground like this.

It is the 10th-largest stadium in the world, the largest in Australia, and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

For all the Sachin Tendulkar fans out there! This is an amazing pic of the great Sir Don Bradman and incredible Sachin Tendulkar on the former's 90th birthday in August 1998.

Quick Fact: Sir Don had only invited two cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne.

And you will get this view from the members' enclosure in Long Room of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Looks good, doesn't it?

Team #GLAadventure got lucky! They got a chance to interact with John Hastings, who made his first-class debut in 2007 for Victoria against the touring Indians. Currently he is in the Kolkata Knight Riders team. 'It's always nice to meet a famous personality; you get to learn so much from them.' Indeed a memorable experience for team #GLAadventure.
