#Warburton is beautiful this time of year.
This is a pic of a public garden aligning the #YarraRiver on a cool #autumn day.
Cloudy, overcast and around 15 degreeās C (60F). Pretty cold, but Iām welcoming the change of season with open arms given the obvious āvisualā spoils on offer!
Thatās #MountVictoria in the background.

A lone and late blooming orange flower, alongside the flowing waters of the #YarraRiver, #Warburton #Australia.
My bud @Witchy_Minx tells itās a #Freesia.
She mentioned at the time they normally bloom mid to late October. Now is the time to be planting the bulbs, so they flower in the Spring.
This oneās obviously a ring-in!
Gorgeous huh?

"The Birrarung [River] is alive, has a heart, a spirit and is part of our Dreaming.ā
Beautiful preamble to an Australia law to protect the river. Written in both English and the Traditional Ownersā language of Woi-wurrung. Framed in the worldview of the Traditional Owners.
The law doesn't give the river legal rights or representation, but it is a step toward rights of nature.

Melbourneās wildlife battlefield
The 30,000 strong flying fox colony on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne offers an interesting case study on the difficulties of managing wildlife in urban settings. #YarraRiver

The boys and I just visited #QueenVictoriaGardens near the #YarraRiver, #Melbournes central business district and arts precinct.
And we were treated to a wonderland of colour. One place of beauty was the flowering clock.
I posted pics from an earlier visit here a few weeks back, but since then, the burst of colour has become more vibrant after this awesome warm, sunny weather.
Iām glad we returned to share this colourful display.

#queenvictoriagardens in #Melbourne sees this lovely recreational area for visitors, city workers and residents at the moment.
I guess itās like a gazebo or large coverage from the summer heat.
The vivid colour caught my eye and it seems many were taking shelter from the suns rays and enjoying the majestic colours and shapes if itās construction. I sure did.
Just a stroll from the #yarrariver and 10 min walk from the edge of the central business district.

#Melbourneās famous #floralclock is just a #tram ride from the Central Business District, located in the #QueenVictoriaGardens.
Itās always adorned with flowering colour and is definitely a go-to for tourists and locals alike.
The location is perfect because itās near #FlindersStreetStation, the #ArtsCentre and the #NGV and itās nestled alongside our iconic #YarraRiver.
Thereās always plenty of picture snappers that visit this vibrant and popular tourist attraction.
And whatās more, every picture taken is time stamped! š

I love this new #melbourne #Australia skyscraper, itās delightful.
āAustralia 108ā is a residential supertall skyscraper located in the #Southbank precinct.
It consists of a 316 metre (1,039Ā ft) tall apartment building with 1,105 apartments over 100 floors.
Construction commenced in 2015, and was completed in 2020.
The aesthetics of this modern-day building are appealing and IMO, it most definitely enhances Melbourneās skyline.
Pictures from various angles and locations, near the #yarrariver.

Nature appreciation shots from #melbourne - at our lovely #BottanicalGarden which is south of the #yarrariver and skirts the city central business district.
It was founded in 1846 on reserved lands.
These beautiful gardens extend across 38 hectares (94 acres) that slope to the river with trees, garden beds, lakes and lawns. It displays almost 50,000 individual plants representing 8,500 different species.
A regular visiting spot for many #Melburnians
And me! š #makesmehappy

Went for a walk along the Merri Creek today. Near the confluence with the Yarra, I spotted a couple of large lizards sunning themselves. They seemed pretty relaxed about me being getting closer gradually until I was within about two metres, and taking photos the whole time with my phone. It was in a fenced-off area with a gate that has a "No dogs" sign, so I guess they've learned to be relaxed about predators / people.
Can anyone help identify the species? My guess is some sort of Water Dragon. Absolutely gorgeous!
