We went for a short walk down St Kilda Rd from Punt Rd to the Royal Botanical Gardens. St Kilda Road is the city's tree-lined main artery and gateway to lush parks and well-known landmarks. It is also my favourite street in Melbourne, with its trams, trees and buildings.

Buildings are different: from one-level houses to blocks of apartments:

We've got palm-trees as well:

Love this building:

I didn't take a lot of photos from the Royal Botanical Gardens, as I was looking at the trees with yellow leaves, birds, ponds and other beauty of the gardens.

It is a good idea to spend a day having a picnic somewhere here..

Going further to Flinders Street Station through nearest park:
