Originally a gold-rush town in the mid 1800s, Melbourne is Australia's second largest city at 3.5 million, a cultured and cosmopolitan place on the banks of the Yarra river. The city's Victorian architecture is impressive and mostly blends well with some ultra-modern buildings, plentiful green spaces and picturesque riverside walks. Around Melbourne there's plenty of action too - excellent wildlife parks [e.g. Hall's Gap], the spectacular Great Ocean Road [GOR] driving route, great hiking in the Grampian Highlands and skiing in the winter. Now, let’s we talk about Federation Square (also colloquially known as Fed Square) is a cultural precinct in the city of Melbourne, Australia. It comprises a series of buildings containing a public broadcaster, art galleries, a museum, cinemas, exhibition spaces, auditoria, restaurants, bars and shops around two major public spaces, one covered (The Atrium), the other open to the sky, and composed of two spaces that flow into one another (St. Paul's Court and The Square). The majority of the precinct is built on top of a concrete deck over busy railway lines. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, thousands of football fans braved cold nights to watch the matches on the Federation Square screen. One thing that I like so is the night view of Federation Square.
