This historical cottage that Captain cook (the founder of Australia) once lived in was transported to its present site from Yorkshire in 1934. The cottage is located in the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens close to the city center and the MCG, you can get to the cottage via the free City Circle tram, which stops a short walking distance from the cottage.
Cost: Unknown

My Recommendations: This is a great place to visit if you are interest in Melbourne and Australia's History, though it may not interest small children. Set aside about 1 hour at the most for your visit to the cottage.
