Melbourne CBD Landmarks

Some of the Melbourne CBD landmarks, I should say. I pass them every day and never get a chance to stop and look. One of the weekend, I had a chance to visit the city with my son and got some spare time to capture these shots on my Mobile.

Melbourne Central

State Library of Victoria

St Paul's Cathedral

Coops Shot tower @ Melbourne Central

St Paul's Cathedral

Flinders Street Railway Station

Federation Square

Gopal's Vegetarian restaurant

Melbourne Central:- A flourishing shopping complex with under ground train station. The center of attraction is the Coop's Shot Tower which is about 50 meters high was built in 1888, was producing Lead shots till 1961.The tower is 9 storeys high, and has 327 steps to the top, today has a museum and some shops today. Jackie Chan's movie, Mr Nice Guy features this tower in its opening scene.

State Library of Victoria has lot of History and is an impressive building. I haven't got a chance to visit and have a look at the interiors but, I was told apart from books, it is worth the visit. And, also there are also some interesting rumours and talks of Ghost sightings in this building.

St Paul's Cathedral: Situated at the corner of Flinders lane and Swanston street is a magnificent 18th century church. Again, never had a chance to go in.

Federation Square : The happening place of Melbourne. A place for public events, gatherings etc. Has some funny collection buildings, shops and worth a visit.

Flinders Station : This is the oldest and central station for Melbourne. All trains(Local), start and end here.(Just joking) But, it is little bit like that.

And, of course being a Vegetarian and looking for a tasty food, I prefer to visit these two restaurants in Swanston street.

Cross Ways Vegetarian restaurant : Eat as much you can.You actually get a lot for what you pay and its tasty as well.Rice, Curry, Papad, Halwa with Semolina and custard and drinks - Butter Milk and Orange Cordial.Cost $7.50 for Normal and $5.50 for concession.( www.crosswaysfoodforlife.com.au)
