For many of us, the thought of travelling overseas or interstate given the current climate seems too stressful. While we are not far from feeling comfortable enough to get on a plane and make these trips a reality once again, the large majority of us Melburniuns will probably be staying local this Christmas period.
But not to worry, there are more than enough things to see and do and experiences to be had all within reach of our local city.
Here are Signal Security’s top 5 must do’s this Christmas period for those staying local.
1. Get yourself a REAL Christmas tree!
That’s right, it’s no longer an experience reserved solely for the Northern Hemisphere. Many Victorians have already jumped on the bandwagon of purchasing their very own living, photosynthesising tree!

2. Celebrate at the Carols by Candlelight at Sidney Myer Music Bowl
This evening out is perfect for families with young children. Pack your picnic blanket and snacks and set up for an unforgettable night. What’s better is that all proceeds of the event go towards supporting children with vision impairment.
3. Save yourself the stress and book your Christmas lunch at one of the many amazing Christmas lunches offered across the City.
4. Go and see the Christmas lights!
An oldie, but a goodie. Hunting down the best Christmas lights that Melbourne has to offer can be quite a task, so we’ve found some of our favourite displays for you to go and see for yourself.

5. Visit a local Lavender farm in full bloom
While there are numerous beautiful parks and beaches to visit around Melbourne, a botanical marvel many have yet to visit is a Lavender farm. With a number of farms less than a one-hour drive from the CBD, why not make the trip and get some incredible photos while you’re at it?
