Have you ever seen Melbourne At Night Time? Walked through the crazy over the top crowds, the way they cross the roads even when the little red man is flashing and cars are trying to drive through the streets? Watched the Street Performers?
Wow it sure is very busy in Melbourne – we got to see another side of Melbourne that we haven’t seen before. Way too many people are homeless, living on the streets near and around Southern Cross Train Station and Federation Square – Flinders Street was where they all came together at night time for a wonderful warm feed from the “Food Vans” {I think it was Salvation Army that was providing all of them with warm soups and sandwiches}
There are all walks of life in Melbourne – from the Hip to the Rappers, To the Goths and then to the in-between. Walking through the streets, watching people rushing by, and seeing the Culture of all the different religious people – I loved every minute of it.
We walked for hours after the Woodland House Party, walking along one side of the river, crossing over the bridge and walking back to our Hotel – slowly!
Our hotel was on Flinders Street so we were within walking distance to great cafes, tram rides to our events or even within walking distances to the Bus services. The best part of Melbourne is the many different food choices and the best coffee cafes in the world – mind you they can’t work out how to make “A Black Coffee With a Dash of Milk” for us!
After walking along and checking out the Melbourne Festival {they had rides, food stalls, amusements, Big Stuff Teddy Bears to win etc} we sat down on the side of the River Bank and waited to see the Fireworks.
After a wonderful morning at Langham Melbourne Masterclass, and then the best afternoon at Woodland House Party, watching the Fireworks along the Melbourne River was perfect ending to a perfect day.
Have You Ever Stopped To Watch Your City At Night?
