Australia Part 16 - Melbourne

My long day continues. This post I spend some time and hard earned dollars on something that's very touristy.

Federation Square

I was told that Federation Square is something of a point of contention with locals. Love it or hate it, tourists flocked to it. So I promptly left.

Across the River

The sun was hitting the buildings on the north side of the Yarra River in a very pleasing manner. Picture captured!

Waiting for the Tram

If I was a smarter man I would have taken the tram. I am not smart, so I continued walking. I loved the sight of the tram with the church in the background.

Reflections

This is a shot I took quickly thinking I'll never use it. The blue sky and reflections quickly changed my mind.

Eureka!

Up 88 floors on the Eureka Skydeck you get a pretty spectacular view of the city. This was the view looking towards Federation Square.

Finding the Trail

I took the time on the Skydeck to scope out my next move. This view helped me decide to head further down the river and eventually work my way down towards the coast.

Where I Came From

This was the direction I had started! I tried to find my car but the Suzuki was far too small.

Bonus Picture - Look Down Please

the Eureka Skydeck also has a room that extends from out of the building. The frosted glass quickly turns clear and everything appears much higher than it did a few moments before.
