Watching the world go by @ Yarra's Edge
Mark BaljakMarch 10, 2013
For those unaware Yarra's Edge is the southernmost precinct of Docklands. Essentialy a long, thin residential peninsula, it's bound by Bolte Bridge, the Yarra, and West Gate Freeway to the south. This isolation leads to the precinct at times lacking the character and bustle of Melbourne's CBD, or even other areas of Docklands. So with a an hour or so to burn and camera in hand i decided to sit back and watch the world go by. While the area does lack foot traffic developer Mirvac is in the process of formulating Bolte Precinct, the final westerly land parcel of Yarra's Edge with a number of features they believe will bring increased human traffic through the area; but that is a story for another day.
