where's polly?

I've wandered down to South Wharf a couple of times in the past month. It's become my new favourite place to stroll in the city.

The Convention Centre and the boardwalk along the Yarra don't yet seem to have been 'discovered' by the general masses, so once you cross Spencer St, it's as if you've left the city completely and wandered off to somewhere quiet and serene, like, oh, I don't know... Geelong!

Anyway, there's some terrific scenery down there... the new buildings along the Yarra on both South Wharf and in Docklands, the activity on the water, ye olde Polly Woodside, the Convention Centre and the renovated wharf sheds, views of the city skyline... it's all stunning, especially on a nice, sunny day (well, as long as you're careful not to get bowled over by one of the swarms of cyclists).

This is a photo of a reflection on the new Convention Centre, showing the Yarra, part of the boardwalk, and yes, Polly is there too!
