Florence on the Yarra River
Yarra River
A visit to Melbourne would not be complete without a good look
at its main river system, the Yarra River. Often the centre of many
jokes due to its brownish colour, it is actually not dirty, just
muddy. The Yarra has become the focus of much development in the
central business district, with many new buildings, walks and parks
having been created along its banks in recent years, including the
relatively new Riverside Park. For the best view of the Yarra River
walk to Princes Bridge, St Kilda Road, or take a cruise along the
river from Princes Walk (below Princes Bridge).
