I have to admit this. Despite having arrived here eight months ago, I haven't seen much of Melbourne. I go to the same places week after week - Box Hill (for Asian grocery shopping), Knox City (supposedly the largest shopping mall in Australia), Victoria Gardens (because IKEA is there), the city itself, Joshua's school, the local parks and playgrounds and the libraries.
Sad but true. There are so many places in, around and near Melbourne that I haven't set foot on. We've only been to St Kilda Beach once and Crown a couple of times.
So it was quite an experience for us when we ventured a little "further" today. We drove to Docklands. Well, it's very near the city. We just never found the time to go there until today. It's quite a nice setting. Lots of nice yatchs there, buildings shaped like boats and ships as well as a number of fancy restaurants. But it was chilly today and there was a bit of a shower. So we didn't hang around long. Still, it was fun and quite a departure from our normal weekend routine.
I think we should make it a point to go to other "near" places every weekend. Then I will get to see all of Melbourne eventually.
