Melbourne airport - 1970 |
From Airport, I was picked up by my uncle. He drive into Flinders street station which the most beautiful in Melbourne City. It was planing to build in 1899 with 17 entries received.Until 1901, work began with style French renaissance and ended 1910. There are 14 lines which difference way from north to south, with Platform No.1 being the farthest north. I just say that "it is really amazing how can human could build that"
After that, I visit Melbourne Central through the train from Flinders street station. It is a large shopping Centre, railway station also. Melbourne Central shopping Centre opened 1991 but it was not profitable for Kamagai Gumi who owner this place. So, he sold 97 percent to Australian property manager GPT group. GPT was redevelopment with 195 million by architects Ashton Raggat Mc Dougall, open the complex to more natural light right now. In 2010, GPT plan redevelopment, the north-east corner at Swaton Street is again being altered, new food precinct will be opened. Another is railway station which is an underground on the metro network in Melbourne. It is one of five station on the City Loop. Be careful, because it is very difficult if you are attention like me come there the first time. In 2013 and 2014, it was the world's third busiest crowded with over 15,000 passengers.
Ok, go around and starting hungry. Should we go any where ? yeahhhh, China Town. There are thousand dishes waiting for visitor. Actually, there are not only food from china, it has many food difference like VietNam, Idian... China town was from the arrival of Chinese immigrants during the Victorian gold. Moreover, Melbourne's China town has a long and illustrious history. In late 1854, the first Chinese was build in Little Bourke Street and Celestial Avenue. In addition, China Town has event which is Asian food. It held in Spring and celebrates with food, stalls.
Ok, if you want to heard some sound from VietNam. let's go to Footscray which is place high population of Vietnamese live there. There are many food by Vietnmese like Pho, bread, beef noodle. Moreover, it is over 130 restaurants including : VietNam, Indian, Chinese, Australia, Afica.... Footscray. Footscay is of part of Maribynong, it was built largely on the traditional lands of the Kulin nation. the village reserve surveyed in 1848 at the junction of the Salt Water and Yarry River was named of the Kentish village of Foots Cray. Footscray's first industries were boiling-down and stone quarries. However, the god rushes and the railway to Williamstown ( beautiful beach) stimulated development. Nowadays, Post-industrial Footscary has become increasingly appealing to young professional attracted by affordable real estate, closeness to Melbourne, strong public transport and impressive local amenties.
There are a few places famous that I have been visited and written history about that. However, There are a hundred place that the visited Melbourne City.
