As we enter April the Autumn period is firmly upon us, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to slow down and hibernate! The mild months across Australia are a perfect time to get out and explore what the country has to offer in the world of arts, culture and events. And there’s one city that’s setting the bar this season: Melbourne.
