It had been 20 years since I was last in Melbourne. I was a dorky (probably still am) teenager back then and didn’t get to see much of the city back then. Even if I did, I don’t remember anything about it. I’m glad to have been reacquainted with the city last month – I could definitely live in it.

Federation Square or as the locals call it, Fed Square, the main public square that’s home to restaurants, bars, stores and cultural events.

The Fed Square logo – a good and simple graphic design if you ask me.

The Yarra River – we were blessed with beautiful weather and sunshine!
