Sightseeing
The Yarra River is synonymous with Melbourne. Our founding fathers paddled up the Yarra river declaring "this is the site for a vilage" just a couple of kilometres from where you will be living. The Yarra borders the southern side of the city stretching from the sea, passing within 300 metres of your apartment and then heading north east for a further 200 kms. From where you live, a beautiful and scenic walking tracj (called the Capital City Trail) meanders into the CBD. A great way to discover Melbourne
