Shrine of Remembrance

During the extra long weekend of Easter me and my bffs went to the CBD and became a tourist for the day. We went to The Shrine of Remembrance at St. Kilda Road. It is a monument in favour to the people who lost their lives during the battle. The script written in the monument says:

" This monument was erected by a grateful people to the honoured memory of the men and women of Victoria who served the empire in the great war of 1914 - 1918"

The monument is breathtakingly fabulous from afar. Inside there are some memorial pictures and story about the war. It was a little bit spooky and we didn't go far inside (Imagine dark-dimmed light, high pillars, cold breeze, and stairs which lead to i-don't-know-where).

Not far from the monument is the Botanical Garden. It is enormous garden. We only managed to walk to the green house, which is sadly closed by the time we get there. My friend held the rest of the photos, so mean time this is all I have :P (will update later).


On the way back I snapped the pictures of the famous Fliders Street Station; the old station which is probably the landmark of Melbourne.




Boo-yeah, I love my city ;)

It is always comforting to know, when I have nothing, I will always have the city.
