What to expect from Melbourne in March

Melbourne in March has perfect weather with temps between 13°c and 24°c, which is great if you want to explore the city’s amazing Aboriginal heritage. The warm but not too hot temperatures make it an excellent month for outdoor exploration and immersive cultural experiences.

A Walk Through History

March in Melbourne is a great time for cultural tours that teach you about the land’s ancient history, as well as the ongoing traditions of its traditional owners. There’s the Tae Rak Guided Cultural Walk, the Kooyang Yana (Kooyang Walk) and the Tungatt Mirring (Stone Country) walk that take you through the Kurtonitj Indigenous Protected Area, Budj Bim National Park and the Tae Rak Aquaculture Centre & Cafe.

These locations have important significance to the traditional owners, the Gunditjmara people. The Gunditjmara used some truly innovative aquaculture techniques at Budj Bim, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Here, you can explore ancient stone structures – which are some of the earliest evidence of permanent settlement in Australia – and learn how the Gunditjmara sustainably managed and harvested eels in the area’s wetlands.

These tours aren’t just about history though – you’ll also experience the stunning natural beauty of the area as you walk through the interesting landscapes of Budj Bim. You’ll also see the volcanic formations that shaped the land millions of years ago and created an environment that has supported life ever since.

At the amazing Tae Rak Aquaculture Centre & Cafe, you’ll see modern interpretations of traditional techniques and enjoy local bush tucker that makes you feel even more connected to the land and its very clever traditional owners,

Eat, Drink and Be Merry

March in Melbourne means it’s time for the Food and Wine Festival, so you can indulge yourself on Melbourne's finest culinary creations until your belt no longer fits. You can also laugh yourself silly at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival this month; although, it’s probably best not to gorge yourself before attending a comedy event! Our Things To Do in Melbourne page has many more options to entertain you.
