Melbourne

Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria, is a vibrant and cosmopolitan destination that offers a plethora of photography opportunities. Known for its stunning architecture, colorful street art, and picturesque landscapes, Melbourne is a photographer's paradise. From the iconic Flinders Street Station to the bustling laneways of the CBD, there are plenty of urban landscapes to capture. The city's parks and gardens, including the Royal Botanic Gardens and Fitzroy Gardens, provide a tranquil setting for nature photography. Additionally, Melbourne's beaches, such as St Kilda and Brighton, offer breathtaking views of the ocean and the city skyline.
