Footscray

Melbourne

Looking east towards Melbourne CBD (city centre) from Footscray on a foggy autumn morning.  The Melbourne Star observation wheel is straight ahead.  To the right is part of the Port of Melburne.
It's an amazing thing. Opening my front door to this every morning. Every sunrise is different and I am lucky enough to see all of them. Melbourne from a distance? Beautiful.

This was my favorite spot to workout when I was in Melbourne. Beautiful outdoor space, the skyscraper in the distance, awesome water reflection. There are a few public barbecues as well if you want to enjoy a picnic on the grass.
