Probably Brunswick St in Fitzroy for street clothes shopping, Chapel for slightly more upmarket and the city is pretty decent for certain things, try little collins/melbourne central

There is an olga berg handbag outlet store in collingwood. Very cheap, not seconds. The charlie brown outlet in the outlet centre near Jeff's shed can be absolutely fabulous.

If you're into sport and like museums, check out the one in the MCG, it's packed full of Cricket, AFL and general athletic stuff.

If you want to do some shopping, check out Harbour Town at Docklands. Some serious bargains to be had there. Near Costco too if you want to check that out.

I will be visiting Melbourne in late June/early July as well, and I too am interested in what to visit near the city. I'll be with wife & 2 kids though and they don't particularly enjoy shopping.

Museums? Galleries? Any recommendations?

  Melbourne Zoo - having been a world traveler I'm proud that Melbourne's zoo is still among the best in the world.
  
  Scienceworks - It's a science museum
  
  Melbourne Museum - It's relatively new.
  
  As another poster recommended the MCG's Sports Museum is outstanding.
  
  Federation Square - in the heart of the city. Is home to national gallery and some ACME.
  
  Go to an AFL game if you're interested in sports, preferably at the MCG. That's pure Melbourne culture there.

    +1 Melbourne Zoo. Puts Australia Zoo up here to shame.

  Just came back from Melbourne. With 2 kids definitely Scienceworks, Federation Square (which currently has Game Masters on) and Melbourne Museum.

China Red in Bourke St CBD for excellent dumplings
- aerona on 07/07/2012 - 02:11 ¶
  
  I Got to say shanghai village another place in the CBD dumplings was great value for the food but can't say much about service though. Can't go wrong with 15 pork dumplings for 6.80

cheap superdry clothing might be the superdry store (not sure the name of the store) at MOORABIN DFO! second cheapest place is the Lockart store at South Whraf DFO.

  I believe there's a small charge to get into the Australian Garden at Cranbourne, but well worth it from what I've been told.

  I use group buy vouchers in melbourne and have never gotten a run around in redeeming them. Their economy is way depressed relative to perth.
  
  Just research the provider before buying and maybe try to book.
  
  Do NOT use WINE GUYS tour in the Yarra Valley.
