Port Philip Bay Water Temperature
Port Philip Bay lies at the southern end of Melbourne, Victoria – Australia’s second largest city. Overseas visitors can fly into Melbourne international airport and then travel into the city down the Freeway. If you’re already in Australia you can get to Melbourne by rail, coach or car. Whilst the Bay has many attractive places and lots of things to do, a favourite pastime is just watching the variety of shipping which comes and goes in the Bay.
