 Docklands - Melbourne's premier waterfront entertainment precinct |
There is an old proverb that decrees it is better to travel than to arrive. Robert Louis Stevenson was a great adventurer who said ‘I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake’. As a career gypsy who earns a living out of travelling the oceans and lands of the world, who am I to dispute such wisdom? However, I wonder if I’ve found my match at the end of a coastal voyage that terminates at the swanky Melbourne waterfront precinct of Docklands.
Passing beneath the skyward reaching pylons of the Bolte Bridge and into Victoria Harbour with its waterfront promenade chock full of restaurants, bars and entertainment, as twilight falls upon the city backdrop, I quietly start swallowing my words. "Perhaps, after all, it is better to arrive", I ponder as we dock at Waterfront City Marina. Amid the tinkling of wine glasses and the heady restaurant aromas wafting across the dock, Docklands throws open its arms in an exuberant welcome.
