Boats at Port Phillip with the skyline of Melbourne

St. Kilda is a trendier neighborhood to the south of Melbourne’s CBD and it’s very popular among backpackers and other travelers. I hopped on a tram and headed down there for a rainy afternoon of walking on the pier and looking at street art (separate post coming soon). A huge highlight was seeing the fairy penguins on the pier, though flash photography is not allowed and thus I couldn’t capture them for the blog.

The botanic gardens were also lovely and I’d highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the neighborhood!
