The beautiful Southbank

The Queens Bridge is a historic road bridge over the Yarra River in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The bridge was built in 1889 and has five wrought iron plate girder spans, and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.



Once you cross the Queens Bridge from CBD you'll get to the beautiful Southbank.


Southbank is an inner city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia located south of the Yarra River. Formerly an industrial area, it was transformed into a densely populated district of high rise apartment and office buildings beginning in the early 1990s as part of an urban renewal program.
Here you can find Australia's tallest tower measured to its highest floor, the Eureka Tower.

The Eureka Tower is named after the Eureka Stockade, a rebellion during the Victorian gold rush in 1854. This has been incorporated into the design, with the building's gold crown representing the gold rush and a red stripe representing the blood spilt during the revolt.



On the side of the Eureka Tower you can see The Bee Colony artwork:


And the entrance to the Eureka Skydeck


Today was the first time I walked on that side of the Yarra river .. and I think this is the most beautiful part of Melbourne CBD zone...
