382737 3 Location 546412 <p>Late one evening, took the train into the city.&nbsp; Since it was too late to "do" much in the way of attractions, I took the opportunity to walk around the city.&nbsp; The area right around&nbsp;Flinders Street Station, along the "upside down" Yarra River,&nbsp;provides a good place to do so.&nbsp;</p><p>The station itself is&nbsp;an arresting, bright yellow and red.&nbsp; Federation Square is a plaza/meeting&nbsp; place across the street, with restaurants and attractions with funky geometric patterned architecture.&nbsp; The southbank promenade, along the Yarra,&nbsp;offers good views of the city skyline, a number of&nbsp;cool bridges, several colorful sculptures, street performers, many restaurants and&nbsp;bars, and the Crown Casino.</p> 2007-01-04T19:18:33-08:00 947978245 2007-01-03T16:00:00-08:00 0 -9223372036854775790 235538 3252373 382737 0 140120 0.0514229642296924 2006-12-28T16:00:00-08:00 Published 25.0 2007-01-24T17:47:35-08:00 93227 0
