cycling perspectives

With our days now wide open with possibilities, we took it upon ourselves to explore as many gems scattered around the city.



We brought bikes to the city and cycled along the south bank, around the docklands, out to Melbourne port where the huge boats are, around the edge of the Yarra River to Westgate park and along the beaches lining Port Phillip bay.

We stumbled upon a multicultural festival on Princes Pier and stopped to have a Roo burger and listen to some fun Indian music and watch Albanian dances before continuing off down the beach to see parasails decorating the windy shore, wander the length of St. Kilda's Pier, explore Acland street, which was packed full of people enjoying drinks and light dining, and biked back through the parks, even riding a short distance of the Formula 1 race track, and biking up to the Shrine of Remembrance which sits atop a hill and looks over Melbourne city and all its glowing lights. It was fun to see the city from so many different angles!
