The circus is coming to the foreshore at St Kilda during the school holidays.

Crowds attending Circus Royale at the lower esplanade will get the chance to see some incredible performances, including highwire walking and acrobatics.

Operations Manager at Circus Royale Jacinta Baumanis said the show mixes “traditional style with modern presentations.”

Meanwhile, visitors to the National Aviation Museum in Moorabbin will get the opportunity to get up close to and explore civilian and military aircrafts of yesteryear.

General Manager at the Museum Ewan McArthur said alongside the planes themselves, visitors also get the chance to “meet the people who flew these planes.”

“We really encourage people to look at aviation as a future career pathway, and this is really important because its something we need a lot of,” Mr McArthur said.

Those looking for a more scenic tour can take a ride down the Bendigo Creek Bike trail.

Tourism marketing manager at the City of Greater Bendigo Glenn Harvey said the trail takes cyclists past some of Bendigo’s most well-known sites.

These include the Bendigo Botanical Gardens, the Daigumsan precinct, and the Bendigo Art Gallery.

“The beauty about the trail is that it takes you from one end of Bendigo to the other, right through,” Mr Harvey said.

“It is a great way to orientate yourself with the rest of the city,” he said.
