After some rain, the Darebin Creek in the Darebin Parklands swells and the little footbridge goes underwater. Quite a lot of debris carries by the swollen creek lodges across the bridge, as the large tree branches that you can see behind the bridge.

YARRA RIVER

Photo taken from the train, while crossing the Cremorne Railway Bridge over the Yarra River in South Yarra, looking towards the East. To the left of the photo is the Citylink Freeway. The white Church Street Bridge, seen in the back, was completed in 1924, and is one of the five major metropolitan bridges over the Yarra River. The rowers in the river was an extra goodie. It's pleasing there are still lots of trees around, considering the wild redevelopment of the area in the last few decades.

OPHELIA

"Ophelia" is Deborah Halpern’s sculpture inspired by Ophelia from Hamlet and is synonymous with Melbourne. So much so that in 1996 it was picked by Tourism Victoria as the official “face of Melbourne” and appeared all over marketing campaigns for several years. The colourful, Picasso-esque mosaic has been a favourite at Southbank since it was installed in the early ‘90s and, after a major restoration in 2012, was moved to a more prominent position just outside Southgate shopping centre’s riverside entrance.
