“In Melbourne, in the late seventies, there was a beautiful blossoming of creativity, and the music scene was awash with talented people,” Nick Cave wrote. “Brilliant musicians, some of them extraordinarily accomplished, were everywhere. You couldn’t walk through St Kilda or Carlton waving a stick without hitting a talented musician.”
As Australia’s second-largest city, Melbourne has seen its fair share of talented bands over the years. From Air Supply to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds to Amyl and the Sniffers, the city has been, and still is, a hotbed of talent and creativity.
For example, groups can take a street art tour down the city’s famous laneways (keep an eye out for secret bars, too). Or, teams can participate in escape-room-like challenges at Old Melbourne Gaol.
Melbourne is also a tech and innovation hub. Several academic institutions offer design and innovation thinking workshops for groups. For a variety of choices, the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre offers 70,000 square meters of flexible space for groups of all sizes.
That makes it a great draw for groups looking to hold meetings and events and in-person team building activities with a flair for the unique and inspiring.
