Although Melbourne is situated on the shores of one of the largest bays on the Australian coast, the city's main water feature is the Yarra River. That's because the city grew from the banks of the Yarra and even today the focus for the city is still very much on a one-kilometre section of the river (http://www.melbourne.com.au/yarra.htm).The photo was shot during my trip to Melbourne in 2006. I love Melbourne. It's just so relaxing. Although it's a big city, it doesn't have terrible traffic. I don't feel the kind of congestion in some other big cities I had been to. It's definitely a place for living.
