A slice of Paris on Yarra's Edge
Adjoining St Kilda Rd, Southbank, on the south side of the Yarra River opposite Melbourne's central city area, is adorned with some of Melbourne's inner city landmarks, The Arts Centre Complex, Southgate 'Arts & Leisure' precinct, and the massive Crown Entertainment Complex.
The precinct stretches along the Banks of the Yarra River with fine shops, restaurants, food malls lined along the picturesque promenade whilst street performances play to the lunching workers from the CBD and passers tourists & visitors. All this while the River Cruises come and go in the background, ferrying pasengers from the Southgate Berth.
By night the promenade descends into a Parisienne ambience with gorgeous lighting illuminating the promenade along with light reflecting into the glistening Yarra River waters from the many restaurants and trees.
