The front lawns and steps of the State Library offer a beautiful landscape, especially on a sunshine filled day! It is a wonderful place to sit or lie down on the grass, a great spot for photo snapping, watch the world go by, get entertained by the occasional musician and more often than not, there is an outdoor activity taking place there. Its an amazing resting place right in the hustle bustle of the city. .a favorite hang out for many students and visitors to Melbourne! Check out the many sculptures and statues in front of the Library. This is my favorite ( and for the more skillful skateboarders, I am sure they enjoy this particular challenge ).

Celebrating the 31st anniversary of Sister Cities of Melbourne & Thessaloniki. Plenty of sunshine, Greek traditional folk dances and Greek yogurt !

Melbourne is said to have the largest Greek-speaking population outside of Europe, after Athens and Thessaloniki, Melbourne’s Greek sister city. Greek migration to Australia dates back to 1827 but the vast majority of Greeks arrived between 1945 and 1982.

The city’s Greek Precinct (in and around Lonsdale Street between Swanston and Russell streets) had its beginnings in the 1930s and today is home to Greek restaurants, cafes and cake shops.
