Southbank

Southbank extends along the southern bank of the Yarra River, positioned directly across from Melbourne's central business district with numerous high-rise buildings.

The area transformed from an industrial zone with shipping facilities in the late 19th century to a modern urban district through extensive redevelopment in the 1990s.

The district contains major cultural institutions such as the Arts Centre Melbourne, the Melbourne Convention Centre, and the National Gallery of Victoria.

Residents and visitors can access the area through multiple transportation options, including trams, buses, and dedicated pedestrian bridges crossing the Yarra River.

The district houses several of Australia's tallest structures, including the Australia 108 and Eureka Tower, which define Melbourne's vertical landscape.
