School Holidays in Melbourne are always on our radar. With my parents and extended family living in Victoria, we are always trying to match our holidays from work around Melbourne school holidays so we can hang out with the kid’s cousins
We’ve found that the bictorian school holidays don’t always match the other states, which can also help us to find cheap and value friendly accommodation if we plan carefully. We hope you enjoy this resource.
