Melbourne River Precinct
|
Just across the river from the CBD is Southbank, home to Melbourne’s famous Crown Casino, a hive of activity anytime of the day and night. Here you can try your luck in the casino , catch the latest movie at the fabulous Gold Class cinemas,shop for designer labels or eat at some of the best restaurants in Melbourne.
The Southbank of the Yarra and the nearby docklands were once a hive of industrial activity. Now the sites where old factories and warehouses once stood have been converted into a stylish residential and cultural precinct of Melbourne.
