What a wonderful weather after the morning’s rain, it was not too cold while we walking around the city. So, we decided take a short tour from Flinders station then Federation Square to Yarra River.
After we crossed the river, we reached Southbank Promenade where you can see people walking along the river bank. And my “gang” too – cyclist! Yes, you found cyclists in the morning and evening; it’s so common to see them everywhere in the city. I wish I can do that… but too cold to ride in winter.
Street trick were trying to sell their ideas. Kids love it and parent were busy too!
After a long walk, it’s about 12pm, there’s a food court called – “SouthGate Food Court” near Southgate Promenade. You won’t miss it coz it’s just right in front the Yarra River. We went in and it was crowded due to Saturday.
So we decided to try some local food (no more Chinese food or Asian food). Heard pizza was good in Ozzy, let’s try – “BIG”. We both love it, it cost us about AUS7 for half piece of pzza but it was big – as the shop’s name!
Spend about one and half hour sitting in the food court, you wouldn’t feel bored coz it was nice view looking out from the building and you wouldn’t want to go out, it was warmed inside of coz. Even the birds prefer to take a break here with us.
After the warm pizza, we were heading further to fleet market near art center. And we saw more of this street trick. I think people like to spend time, especially kids love it.
There were some fleet market stalls located under the “Princess Bridge”.
Took a photo near “The Arts Center”.
The building of “National Gallery of Victoria”.
While we were inside the building, we didn’t tour around the art gallery since we don’t have much time to spend in the city. We walked to this books and souvenirs section. And secretly took some photos.
One thing I realized that books were not expensive IF you are earning Ozzy dollar. I found some nice hard cover book was around AUS30. In Malaysia, easily RM150 and above!
Time around 2pm, we decided to walk along Swanston Street where souvenir shops for tourists.
Across the street and there’s a lot of old but Nice building along this street.
Entrance of China Town.
Trams and taxi are both busy moving at the same time. (While I was crossing the road)
Around 3pm in the afternoon, the sky started “dimming”! So, we’d to quickly walk toward Melbourne Square which not far away.
This is one of the land marks of Melbourne Square. By 4.45pm, we could see the sky was getting darker.
After we have done our shopping, we took a tram back to the station, tried not to miss the evening’s scenes. Again, stood above the Princess Bridge and looking at the sunset, Yarra River and the city of Melbourne.
