South Wharf is located on the southern bank of the Yarra River, bounded by Clarendon Street, Normanby Road, the West Gate Freeway and Docklands Highway. Gazetted in 2008, formerly part of the industrial and shipping area of Southbank, the renaming is part of a wider urban renewal strategy to link Southbank with Melbourne Docklands. South Wharf includes some of Melbourne's landmarks including the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre and the Melbourne Maritime Museum with its heritage Polly Woodside. South Wharf is home to Shopping outlet Direct Factory Outlets and the Hilton Melbourne - "South Wharf".

Simply beautiful night shots! Interesting structure for the highway to pass through - looks nice, but wonder what's the purpose? Again, great information!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. The structure is purely decorative. More public art for Melburnians!
DeleteI was thinking the same as Linda Nick, it is a very impressive almost sculpture. Love the night images, hand held or tripod?
ReplyDeleteHand-held, Grace. I very rarely use a tripod, mostly forget to take ne with me...
Deletegreat shots! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful night shots! Fantastic images. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the excitement of the city at night, and you've captured that in your photos! These are great!
ReplyDeleteAn impressive sculpture it is indeed! Your night shots are awesome, Nick! One can almost feel the energy. Such a beautiful city -- day or night! Have a great weekend!

I love the Circle-In-A-Square highway art. Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteNo missing that sign and the Wharf looks great in these night time shots.
ReplyDeletePretty night shots!
ReplyDeleteI love that sculpture!! Great post Nick.
ReplyDeleteAwesome night shots. The signs and sculpture are great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful night shots!
ReplyDeleteI like these 'airborne' shots, Nick. They all have real good subjects for 'things in a row.' I'm doing this too but don't have nice airport pictures like you do.
ReplyDelete..
Beautiful pictures. Beautiful views. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWow great shots, you are not an amateur photog anymore as you claim. These are works of the pro!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome captures. I think the thing which stand out the most for me the blue lighted oval through which the train runs. That is spectacular. And once again, the bridge is one of my favorites. Its simplicity makes it even more attractive and at night is it out of this world. genie
ReplyDeleteAmazing night shots! You must have a great camera! That bridge with the blue light in the arch is really interesting!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Great set of night shots!
ReplyDeleteI thought I had commented already... maybe I was just dazzled by the lights. now I am simply impressed that you have such a steady hand!
