Elwood: Beaches and Music Galore
Elwood is a small suburb located on the southern borders of Melbourne in the Australian state of Victoria. Originally built on swampland, Elwood, Australia is now home to a well-developed economy, where the homes and buildings exhibit unique architecture and the beaches are crowded with tourists looking to engage in recreational water sports. Elwood’s streets are either named after water-related phenomena, like Wave or Tide Street, or writers, as in Shakespeare Grove or Keats Street. Airports that service the area include Avalon Airport (AVV) and Tullamarine Airport (MEL).
Best Time to Visit
The beset time to visit Victoria for ideal weather conditions is from November to April, where temperatures either gradually rise or gradually drop, avoiding the drop in temperatures experienced towards the middle of the year. July is the best month to visit to avoid the business that comes with large tourist crowds. Music lovers will find plenty of opportune times to visit Victoria. The Rainbow Serpent Festival is an annual international music festival in January that takes place over four days.
