Southbank was formerly an industrial area and part of South Melbourne. It was transformed into a densely populated district of high rise apartment and office buildings beginning in the early 1990s, as part of an urban renewal program. With the exceptions of the cultural precinct along St Kilda Road, few buildings built before this time were spared by redevelopment. Today Southbank is dominated by high-rise development. It is one of the primary business centres in Greater Melbourne.
Southbank Promenade and Southgate Restaurant and Shopping Precinct, on the southern bank of the Yarra River, extending to Crown Casino, is one of Melbourne's major entertainment precincts.

I went on a Yarra River cruise that had a meal on board, wines and a running commentary about everything on both sides of the river. It was a terrific cruise.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great city. it's on our agenda for this winter, hopefully.
ReplyDeleteSouth bank has been such a success for Melbourne. My favourite in this series is the one with the row boat at night on the Yarra. Great shots Nick.
