This part of Melbourne's Yarra River is now known as "Docklands", with apartment buildings and glass towers on both sides. Back in 1965 when I sailed from here to the Antarctic (PiP), it was North Wharf and a very busy shipping and industrial area! Wishing everyone a Happy Bench Monday and a good week to follow.

Melbourne's Dockland area is now full of modernistic high-rise apartment buildings - very much a matter of taste! While you contemplate your views on them, you could rest on the rather uncomfortable looking benches in the foreground. Happy Bench Monday, everyone, and have a good week.

These benches in Melbourne's Docklands area look impressive, though I have to wonder how they would be on cold winter days or hot summer ones! Happy Bench Monday and have a good week, everyone.

The Yarra River in Melbourne was once the main ship docking area, with wharves and low warehouses (see previous image). The shipping now has been moved to the far distance in the main image and the old dock area has been redeveloped as "Docklands" with apartments and offices. See notes for details of the benches. Happy Bench Monday and have a good week, everyone.
