Melbourne's favourite season is on its way....

There's a real shift in Melbourne's vibe that comes with the arrival of Autumn—the weather's milder, the footy season kicks in and then there's the usual suspects of the Comedy Fest, MF&W, Moomba and so on. With so much going on at this time of year, the last thing we want to do is stay indoors all season while the weather and leaves begin to change, so if you, like us, want to Get Out this autumn, we have the perfect list of events for you…
