FEDERATION SQUARE - right in the heart of Melbourne.

Federation Square offers a great diversity of attractions for locals and tourists alike.

From its spectacular architecture, international restaurants and cafes, to Victoria’s National Gallery which houses an exceptional collection of Indigenous art, visitors from all over the world are fascinated and enticed by Fed Square’s charm.


WEBB BRIDGE - simply great design.

Part of the new Melbourne Docklands, this new sculptural pedestrian and cyclist bridge crosses the Yarra River, and links Yarra’s Edge with Docklands Park and Harbour Esplanade.

The bridge design is based on the concept of an eel entering a traditional fish trap.

The existing disused rail bridge has been clad in curved perforated steel plates that will shimmer during the day and glow green and yellow at night when lit from within.

The bridge is often described as an integrated artwork that functions as a pedestrian/cyclist bridge, it's hard not to agree. The roof is designed beautifully and transformed into a sculptural object; Oliver has captured this perfectly in a crisp, clear shot.
