MELBOURNE | Tuesday 8th October to Monday 14th October 2013

This Week, Melbourne Festival serves up a fine program of theatre performances, arts and much more. Those keen on a drop might want to phone their favourite designated driver as numerous wineries along Warburton Highway open their doors for Shedfest.

At Melbourne Showgrounds there's a weekend of activities and entertainment for the ladies with the return of GO Festival, while Melbourne's many avid cyclists can pedal along to Ausbike Expo with more bikes than you could tick a spoke at.

Have a great week in Melbourne!
