Shots of buildings located in the heart of #Melbourne’s #Southbank precinct.

Its southern area is considered part of the central business district of the city. Southbank is bordered to the north by the #Yarra River, and was formerly an industrial area.

It was transformed into a densely populated district of high rise apartments and office buildings beginning in the early 1990s.

Southbank now houses over 22,000 residents and there are theatres, clubs, restaurants and designer shops throughout and in and around the #CrownCasino complex.

The riverside promenades feature al fresco fine dining and cargo sheds housing craft-beer bars.

It’s definitely a hub of action and fun.

One of my fave places in Melbs!

Im alittle conflicted by this paint job.

I see it regularly and don’t know if I love it. Or just in ‘like’ 😁

This is #HanoverHouse’ and the #BETA

Their statement; “We are conscious consumers who seek meaning, yet the places where we shop are no longer fit for purpose. We want experiences rather than transactions, circularity instead of waste, the way forward not the past.

BETA is a revolutionary testing ground exploring the future of retail space, programming and new business models. Real-time experiments are happening through a series of events that test new forms of dining, wellness, fashion and design outside retail’s traditional brick and mortar limits. A humble seven storey concrete office block, which until the late 1990s claimed to be Southbank’s tallest building, has been transformed into a dynamic lab of progressive retail experiences that honour individuality, diversity and creative expression”.

I love their work though!

It is located within the heart of #Southbank #Australia around the corner from the #ArtCentre #NGV and #CrownCasino.

I’ve been driving past these #Petunias for weeks and found myself in #southbank #melbourne (near #crowncasino) the other day.

They’re in masses in a formal garden bed just shining their love to the world!

I love them.

They come in so many colours and they pop in the summer warmth and sunlight.

Gorgeous!!

Reading about Crown Casino's involvement in organised crime and unpaid taxes. I keep singing 'blow up the pokies' internally.
"But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs." - 1 Timothy 6:9-10
