I'll be arriving on Saturday at 10:15 a.m. and departing Sunday at 12:05 p.m. I've already Pricelined the Marriott on Lonsdale Street. My plan is to take the Skybus from and to the airport. I was thinking about making use of the free Melbourne City Tourist Shuttle to get a lay of the land. Other than that, I have no plans and no idea what I should do and see.

Any recommendations for can't miss sights or activities?

How should I structure my visit so that I make the most of my limited time?

Any good value restaurant I should visit for my only dinner in Melbourne?

Sightseeing options to consider:
Eureka SkyDeck
Melburne 360 Rialto Melbourne Observation Deck
Cruise down the Yarra River
Visit Queen Victoria Market
Federation Square
Old Melbourne Gaol
Royal Botanic Gardens
Captain Cooks Cottage
Melbourne Aquarium
Crown Entertainment Complex
Colonial Tram Car Restaurant for dinner (this was unique, fun, food good)
Rent a car and drive to Phillip Island for the evening Penguin Parade
Visit St. Kilda area
