Melbourne City cold windy

Melbourne City cold windy 2014

Melbourne City cold windy when I visited in 2014 after driving from Adlelaide via the Great Ocean Road. It was so cold I only spent two days before heading to the Gold Coast.

Queenscliff to Sorrento

Road Trip Port Fairy Phillip Island

After the Great Ocean Road I caught the ferry from Queenscliff to Sorrento on the way to Phillip Island before staying at Dromana & Melbourne.

Looking at this photo it’s hard to believe how cold it was. 🙂

The famous Yarra River

Melbourne City cold windy 2014

The Yarra River or historically, the Yarra Yarra River, is a perennial river in south-central Victoria, Australia. The lower stretches of the Yarra are where Victoria’s state capital Melbourne was established in 1835, and today metropolitan Greater Melbourne dominates and influences the landscape of its lower reaches. Wikipedia

Starbucks

Located in Swanston Street Melbourne, I don’t ever miss a day visiting a Starbucks branch somewhere. 🙂

Prince’s Bridge Hotel

Young & Jackson’s (Princes Bridge Hotel) is one of Melbourne’s best-known hotels. The hotel has stood beside Melbourne’s busiest crossroads for nearly 140+ years emerging from humble origins to become an icon for the city. Young & Jackson’s is famous for many reasons, not just its landmark status, on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets, or its past early openings and riotous 6pm closing when hoards consumed as much as possible prior to the closing bell.

Federation Square

 Located on the corner of Swanston Street and Flinders Street, Federation Square is at the hub of Melbourne’s CBD, arts and sports precinct. With so much to see and do here, it’s no surprise that Federation Square takes up the entire size of a city block-that’s 38,000 square metres to be precise.

Burke & Wills

The whole monument, at the corner of Collins and Swanston streets, will be moved to avoid damage during the tunnelling works. More about Burke & Wills HERE.
