In no particular order try:

Queen Victoria Market
Rialto Observation Deck
Houses of Parliament and the area in Spring St, 'Paris end' of Collins St
Melbourne Zoo
Melbourne Museum
Take a city circle (free) tram ride :tartan:
Southbank - walk from Princes Bridge to Polly Woodside and stop along the way
In the opposite direction walk along the Yarra and take in Melbourne Park, the 'G', Royal Botanic Gardens
Albert Park Lake and drive where Schumacher goes before you
St Kilda - pier (look for the penguins in the rocks near the end during daylight), marina, walk along the beach, Acland St (sample the cakes)
Ferry from Southbank to Williamstown
Ferry from Williamstown to St Kilda over the weekend and public holidays
Scienceworks, Spotswood
Chapel Street shops and Prahran Market
Docklands
See a 'footy' match
Drive around the tree lined streets of Toorak and see how the other half (a percent!) live
Walk through any of the many parks
Drive or cycle along the beach road from Beacon Cove to Mordialloc

Out of Melbourne (mostly west and north from a Williamstown starting point):

Yarra Valley and the Dandenongs (Domaine Chandon, Yering Station and Chateau Yering, De Bortoli's particularly recommended, even if you don't drink, have a look at Tea Leaves in Sassafras or Yarra Glen)
Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula (Queenscliff and Eastern Beach Geelong particularly good)
Macedon Ranges
Ballarat, Sovereign Hill, Wildlife Park etc
Bendigo
Daylesford and Hepburn Springs via Trentham (try the tearoom and bakery, both great)
Mornington Peninsula
Link Mornington Peninsula and Bellarine Peninsula by taking the ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff or vice-versa

That'll do, there's lots to see!
