-- Hosier Lane Hosier Lane is a bluestone cobbled vehicular and pedestrian laneway on the southern edge of the central city grid. Hosier lane is a much celebrated landmark mainly due to its sophisticated Urban art. Hosier Lane lies opposite the entrance to the Atrium at Federation Square on Flinders St, a prominent position in the city. The lane has been noted for the quality and the often political nature of its art. It features in the state-sponsored book The Melbourne Design Guide and in Tourism Victoria's Lose Yourself in Melbourne advertising campaign, leading to questions about the dichotomy of Victoria's approach to graffiti. The graffiti-covered walls and art-installations have become a popular backdrop for fashion and wedding photography. Hosier Lane is also known for its upmarket cocktail lounges including the popular Misty and MoVida. An open air cooking session with MoVida's chef Frank Camorra on Masterchef Australia season 2 showcased the lane as a major Melbourne attraction. quoted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanes_a...

Flinders Street railway station is a railway station on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It serves the entire metropolitan rail network. Backing onto the city reach of the Yarra River in the heart of the city, the complex covers two whole city blocks and extends from Swanston Street to Queen Street. Flinders Street is served by Metro's suburban services, and V/Line regional services to Gippsland. It is the busiest station on Melbourne's metropolitan network and the busiest railway station in Australia, with over 77,153 daily entries recorded in the 2017/18 fiscal year. It was the first railway station in an Australian city and the world's busiest passenger station in the late 1920s. The main station building, completed in 1909, is a cultural icon of Melbourne. The art nouveau style building, with its prominent dome, arched entrance, tower and clocks is one of the city's most recognisable landmarks. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. The Melburnian saying "I'll meet you under the clocks" refers to the row of clocks above the main entrance, which indicate the time-tabled time of departure for trains on each line; another saying, "I'll meet you on the steps", refers to the wide staircase underneath these clocks. Flinders Street Station is responsible for two of Melbourne's busiest pedestrian crossings, both across Flinders Street, including one of Melbourne's few pedestrian scrambles. Listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, the station has Australia's longest platform which is 708-metres long and is also the fourth longest railway platform in the world. quoted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinder...

This is Melbourne's South Wharf Promenade in Southbank, Melbourne, Australia. I have never been on this side before, but they have really developed it over the years. There's now riverside restaurants along the promenade and a cool looking pedestrian bridge. This promenade runs alongside the Melbourne Exhibition building in Southbank. It is a bit out from the main city center, but still worth a look if you are in Melbourne. SOUTH WHARF PROMENADE, Southbank, Melbourne, Australia. LOCATION: https://goo.gl/maps/LmqLjnRh5wR2

150 years before James Cook the Dutch East Indiaman ship called Batavia shipwrecked on the West Coast of Australia, the Abrolhos. It was meant to reach the Batavia colony in present day Jakarta but it never arrived due to mutiny, intrigue and a serial killer. Many people survived but were massacred on the islands led by a man called Jeronymus Cornelisz who incited others to kill for him.
