Melbourne – City Architecture
Our visit to the city starts with a walk along Albert Road. We started our day early and the walk is most pleasant as the streets were empty. We were to head on to a stop where we will then take the free shuttle to the city. Getting to the stop, we chanced upon the “Shrine of Remembrance”. It is a beautiful shrine built to remember the Australians who fight during the war. The architecture is beautiful, with pillars that reminds us of the architecture that you see in the movies “Samson & Delilah” or “Julius Ceaser”.

We then took the free tourist shuttle to Carlton Garden. It is a beautiful garden and this is where you see the Australians relaxing in the garden – you see people reading under the trees, sunbathing, packing their lunch boxes, parents with kids playing. After Carlton Garden, we took the city tram to Fitzroy Garden. Fitzroy Garden is rather big, you would need to have a bicycle to be able to move around the whole garden. Near Fitzroy are a few government offices named as Treasury. It poses as a rather interesting architecture building. In Fitzroy itself is Cook’s Cottage.
