Marvelous Melbourne

The sun sets over fabulous Melbourne and the Grampian Hills, way off in the distance.

The sun sets over fabulous Melbourne and the Grampian Hills, way off in the distance.

I made certain to get up to the top in time for sunset, which did not disappoint. This is looking west, where the Yarra River empties into Port Phillip Bay. Geelong would be way out to the west, further along the bay.

Back on the roof of the YHA, a typical day in Melbourne: they don't joke about 4 seasons in one day for nothing. Most days comprise clear blue sky followed 10 minutes later by black clouds, and then back to sun, and back to rain, and so on. The clouds will often hover over just one small section of the city. You can't even see the Eureka Tower in this, it would normally be in the background centre-right but is completely obscured by clouds. 2 minutes later, it was back.
