Visit the National Gallery on St Kilda Rd: http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/ngvinternational/
At least one visit to the Queen Victoria Market is mandatory: http://www.qvm.com.au/ Jam donuts there are the best. Prahran & South Melbourne markets are worth a visit too.
Take a stroll through the Botanic Gardens: http://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/
On Mothers Day - 10 May: MB would head out to Langwarrin to check out Lady Elisabeth Murdoch's gardens which will be open to public - http://www.opengarden.org.au/regions/vic_calendar.html

Browsing in Chapel Street, eating in Brunswick Street and at little Vietnam in Richmond. A kebab at Alasya always goes down well too.
Of course this is only the tip of the iceberg....

It just so happens that we will be in Melbourne May 20-25th. Lots og good info here, thanks. I can almost smell those jam doughnuts at the Vic Market
Odd.
We were in Melbourne for a week last week. Of your items, we scored zero.
We managed
* Fitzroy Gardens
* Williamstown
* Chapel St shopping
* Lygon St dinner
* Smith St Collingwood factory clearance
* Eureka Skydeck 88
Mind you, I suspect our age profile averaged across the group meant that the most popular choice was a lolly shop and Smiggle.
