St Kilda Road, Melbourne

One of Melbourne’s peak hour arteries – St Kilda Road – four lanes each way and tram track down the middle.  St Kilda Road was originally designed as a European-style boulevard, and despite the amount of traffic that it carries each day, it is still healthily tree-lined. 

Albert Park Lake, the home of the Australian Grand Prix, is just visible in the top right-hand corner. Above that is part of the shoreline of Port Phillip Bay.

The Bolte Bridge

CityLink’s Bolte Bridge – Melbourne’s latest landmark.  This view clearly shows that the towers are only there for cosmetic purposes, they serve no structural function.
