Melbourne At Night

Melbourne is a very pretty city at night. There is a lot of nightlife going on. One very cool place is called "Southbank". It's the south bank of the Yarra River, which runs through the town. On any given night you can go to Southbank, enjoy dinner on the patio of dozens of restauants, and many nights there are street performers. One sight to see is at the Crown Casino. The have these huge pillars along the walk, and at night they shoot HUGE balls fo fire into the air.
We took a trip down to see them, but we didn't wait long enough - I'll have to go back and get pics of that later. But, TeachingMom did get some really cool pics of the river at night.

This shot is looking north-east, back towards the city.

This shot is looking north. Just to the left of this pic is the Melbourne Aquarium.

Another shot looking north. The building is the Australian Immigration Museum. It's Sorta like Ellis Island for Australia.


Anyway, just a short post. I'll get some more pics up and most posts.
There are more pics available - check out http://picasaweb.google.com/jcrawford2000
