Southgate

Southgate Located on the south bank of the Yarra and is like a gateway to Southbank.  Many Cyclist's choose it to be the end of their Yarra bicycle ride because the Cafes and Restaurants all along the river makes it a great place for Brunch, Lunch or even Dinner.  There are street performances to watch, and River Cruises departing from the Southgate Berth.  With the casino a little further down the river and the Flinders Street Railway Station just across the river would be the reason for Southgate having so much action and being so busy.  A place in Melbourne not to be missed

The complex series of structures consists of a square framed by silver and glass shards, a series of triangular composed complex facades, a giant cobbled sandstone plaza and massive complex glass atrium. A series of small laneways provide vistas framing previously hidden parts of the city.
