Local Attractions.
My house is located near The Yarra River and there are a number of places nearby which are of significance to the Wurundjeri people as well as to other Melbournians
Studley Park Boathouse, built in 1927, is the oldest public boathouse. The surrounding parkland was and still is a very popular picnic ground. Kane's bridge is a suspension bridge. It is a relaxing place to visit for a meal or a coffee, having a choice of two eating areas, and if you are feeling energetic, you can hire a canoe or a rowboat and enjoy a pleasant time on the river. Close by there is a driving range and a mini golf range or maybe you would prefer a stroll along the banks of The Yarra!

Melbourne Zoo is renowned for its gardens, many of which use Australian plants as screens as well as for fodder. Always flowers to see. Zoos Victoria is dedicated to conserving 21 endangered Australian animal species, by breeding and releasing them back into the wild.

This is a funky suburb in inner Melbourne. Originally a working man's suburb, it has been reinvented in the past 10 years or so. There are many galleries, cafes and retro furniture shops in Smith St. The side streets are a great place to wander and you will discover more tiny cafes as well as colourful street art. An interesting suburb where you can easily spend 4 hours or so exploring.
