My first time shooting my home town a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping for an epic sunset but in typical Melbourne fashion it was a complete fizzer. However, a long exposure did the trick.

After what felt like a month-long Antarctic Blast, Melbourne was treated to an unseasonal run of 20-degree weather this week. This shot is taken from the Evan Walker Bridge. Recreational cruise charters line the Yarra River, Princes Bridge in the midground, Hamer Hall to the right, and the magnificent MCG dominating the horizon.
I for one, am excited to see the results of the Birrarung Mar redevelopment between the G and Fed Square.
Melbourne Park is a sports venue in the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Since 1988, Australia's bicentenary, Melbourne Park has been home of the Australian Open Grand Slam tennis tournament played annually in January. The park has multiple venues where the Australian Open matches take place. Rod Laver Arena is the largest venue with a capacity of 15,000, while John Cain Arena seats 10,500 and Margaret Court Arena 7,500. The three venues feature retractable roofs, allowing events to be played indoors or outdoors. Besides, there is the Show Court 3 and 1573 Arena which both have a 3,000 seating capacity, and the new 5000-seat Kia Arena (opened in 2022). In total there are 35 outdoor Greenset tennis courts at Melbourne Park.
Melbourne Park is owned by the Victorian Government and managed by the Melbourne & Olympic Parks Trust, which also runs the adjacent Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. The Yarra Park section of the Sports and Entertainment Precinct is run separately.
The park was originally known as Flinders Park until 1996, when then-premier, Jeff Kennett decided to change the name to Melbourne Park, mainly to advertise the name "Melbourne" to a wide international audience during events held there. The decision was met with strong opposition, and was compared by some to renaming Stade Roland Garros (home to the French Open in Paris) "Paris Park". However, over the years, the name has become accepted by Melburnians.
Flinders park was developed in 1988 beside the Jolimont Yard as a new precinct to host the Australian Open. The previous venue, Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club, had become too small for the burgeoning tournament. Flinders Park's construction was completed in 1988 at a cost of at least $94 million. The unveiling of the new precinct was met with incredibly positive reviews by players and spectators, with some labelling the facilities and amenities the best of the four Grand Slams. Expansion of the precinct next occurred in 1996, when a further $23 million was invested to create two fully seated and larger show courts and eight new 'Ace' courts, as well as a large grassy space, now known as 'Garden Square'.
The organisation responsible for managing the precinct is the Melbourne & Olympic Parks Trust, which was established in October 1995 in accordance with the provisions of the amended Melbourne & Olympic Parks Act 1985. In April 2018, Tennis Australia revealed it harboured ambitions to take over management rights of the entire precinct, with the hope of maximising its use for other sporting and cultural events outside of the Australian Open.
Melbourne is known as one of the world's great street art capitals for its unique expressions of art on approved outdoor locations.

Melbourne, one of the most chilled out cities to visit in the world… and it’s bigger than you think!

Melbourne and the Yarra River look fantastic on a still morning, and if you can get there before the first rowers hit the water and disturb the reflections it is even better.
