Week 253

ST KILDA
 

St Kilda lies on one of the most picturesque parts of the Port Phillip Bay shores. It used to be a
highly fashionable resort, just a short distance from Melbourne's CBD. The area went through a
slump for a few years, but has again become a sought-after area and has become a great
tourist attraction. Nowadays it is popular for its picturesque bayside setting, close proximity to the
city, beaches, music venues, restaurants and café lifestyle.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

1. I spotted this charming house on my way from the tram stop to the beach.

 

 
   

 

2. St Kilda beach, with Luna park in the background. It was a good 32°C, so the beach was a popular place to be!

 

 
   

3. A covered section of the rollercoaster track at Luna Park.

 

 
   

 

4. The much-photographed entrance.

 

 
   

 

5. This modern hotel caught my eye because of its clean white lines.

 

 
   

 

6. As did this apartment block.

 

 
   

 

7.  A snapshot of a typical St Kilda street scene (this is where I paused for a $5 pint of beer and a bit of shade!).

 

 
   

 

8. Another iconic image of St Kilda.

 

 
   

 

9. Off a back street, this yellow doorway begged to be photographed.

 

 
   

 

10. Bright .. and red!
