melbourne is on a river facing the bay.....


On 15 June, we took a lift to the 55th floor of Melbourne's second tallest building where there is a view of Melbourne in all directions. We had tea with Yasmine, who is offering to help with the baby.
The sun had broken through the veil of fog.
The yarra river and bridges are visible at left.
On the right is the amazing new Eureka building, the tallest in Australia.
In the distance is the 10o,000 seater football stadium incorrectly called the Melbourne Cricket Ground!
Yes, it stages cricket, but the real money is in the Australian game of football.
