Great Places To Visit - Birrarung marr Night Noodle Markets - Melbourne - Australia

Take a leisurely walk along the Yarra and check out the Noodle Markets. We're early, so no crowds yet. Had a look about and then we decided we rather sit at one of the pub/restaurants on the river, enjoy an ale and some tapas. It's Melbourne right? We have multiple choices. So we wandered back from the Noodle Markets, left those to the rest of Melbourne and went to Pilgrams, found an indoor seat (the outdoor ones were already full) facing the gorgeous brick archway, made ourselves comfortable, and our waitress magically appeared with menus and took our drinks order while we were deciding what to eat.  Sat back in our comfy soft chairs we managed to snaffle, sipped on our icy cold Carlton Draught and watched the city, the people, and the Yarra in front of us.   Nice way to...

Great Places To Visit - Studfield Boathouse, Yarra River, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Nestled on the Yarra River are a number of Boathouses that offer rowing on the Yarra, lovely parks to stroll in, delightful Cafe's/Restaurants with outdoor/indoor seating.  Very hard to resist on a lovely day.  Many people flock to these little gems hidden along the Yarra River. We recently visited the Studfield Boathouse, just because we could.
