it tracks around the CBD & gets people to many touristy spots, eg. victoria market, harbourtown, south yarra. some within walking distance from the tram stops.
one place where tourists congregate is federation square, a post-modern block of buildings which houses an exhibition hall as well as tourist information. of course, free wifi also helps...
my host thinks it's an eye sore! it seems a bit out of place amongst the new and old.....
...... like these 2 adjacent old church buildings and the new block being constructed in the background. ah yes, we did notice quite a few apartment blocks undergoing construction right within the CBD itself. perhaps these have already been advertised in our local papers.
what's a vibrant city without people having a few beers on a friday evening....
food......
and street performers............?
throw in shopping......
and something odd, like a tourist-friendly street-full of graffitis....
and there you have a city worth a visit.
