Trams on St Kilda Road - Arts Precinct, Melbourne
St Kilda Road is a grand, tree lined boulevard in Melbourne. Along with Swanston Street, it forms a major spine of the city.
St Kilda Road begins at Flinders Street, in the Melbourne central business district and crosses Princes Bridge, which spans the Yarra River and connects the central business district of Melbourne with the suburb of St Kilda, ending at Carlisle Street, St Kilda. The road continues as Brighton Road, which becomes Nepean Highway, forming a major arterial connecting the bayside suburbs and Mornington Peninsula to the city. Along its length run dozens of trams.
In the distance you can see Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. Architecturally designed by Hudson & Wardrop between 1927 and 1934, the classically inspired building looks like an ancient Greek or Roman temple.
I had a lovely morning outing along Melbourne's Birrarung Marr with the Famous Flickr Five + Group. Walking along the corniche by the Yarra River provides some beautiful views of the Melbourne central business district also known as "the grid" because the original Melbourne city was based on a grid of main streets, famous Southbank precinct and views east along the Yarra.
Birrarung Marr is an inner city park between the Melbourne central business district and the Yarra River. It was opened in 2002. The name "Birrarung Marr" means "river of mists" and "river bank" in the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people, the Indigenous inhabitants at the time of European settlement of the Melbourne area.
