Docklands


This afternoon we explored Docklands which is a short tram ride from our apartment.


We started at The District precinct where we found a place to have some really nice fish (King George whiting) & chips in the shadow of the Melbourne Star (below).



We continued to explore Docklands following the waterfront where there are water craft of varying sizes and uses.

Some very large and very expensive super yachts were there for the Australian Tennis open.


The Steve Irwin is an ex-navy ship used by Sea Shepard to disrupt the Japanese whaling fleets. It is now retired.


Most of the smaller boats were still pretty impressive for the most part. By late afternoon, Harry was exhausted so we caught a tram back to Collins st. where Harry could chill out watching trams while we organized dinner. Once Harry was asleep in bed I returned to Docklands with my camera.


As always, the soft light at the end of the day changes the character of the environment.




As the sunset transitioned into night, the surroundings changed again with the lights dominating the lense.




The Melbourne Star came to live with an ever changing, spinning light show.
