Pictorial

Radiating outwards from the chic city are awe-inspiring scenic wonders - the vast, windswept vistas of the Great Ocean Road with the Twelve Apostles to the west and the penguin paradise of Phillip Island to the east. To the north-east are the gently undulating Dandenongs and the Yarra Ranges. Also covered are architecture, both abstract and historical, shopping, sport and culture, offering an insight into the daily lives and passions of Melburnians.
