Unlike sunny Sydney, Melbourne isn't known for its consistently good weather. What we are known for, however, is our intense enthusiasm for the sun when it finally decides to show its face. We flock to verdant beer gardens, expansive rooftop bars and postcard-perfect picnic spots for as long as the weather holds out; these are some of our favourites.
