everything that one may need for entertainment is present at Southbank Promenade - water front, cruises, walkways, walking bridges, restaurants, strong night life, picturesque surroundings, fun atmosphere walking bridges to cross the yarra river and even the eureka Skydeck. Location is close to Flinders station and a very short walk from the CBD. Southbank even has a Seven-eleven and McDonalds. There are several seating chairs, restrooms, and enough trashcans. This is a must visit place for clean fun!

This is a great reminder of how hard police work to keep us safe. This monument stands quietly amongst the greenery and along St Kilda Rd in Melbourne. It is a noble structure for a noble force and serves it's purpose well. The inscription states: This memorial recognises the ultimate sacrifice paid by members of the Victoria Police Force in maintaining law & order in Victoria. The memorial stands as a symbol of the community's deepest respect and as a tribute to those members of the Victoria Police Force who have given their lives in the line of duty so that the Victorian community is a safer place for all. The names of Police officers who died on duty are cast in bronze plaques set into the wall. Currently adorned with wreaths and floral tributes due to the recent tragedy where 4 police were killed in 1 incident. Worth a visit no matter the time of year.
