St.Kilda beachYesterday was beautiful; we spent a few hours in the sunshine at the St. Kilda Beach, enjoying 70 degree weather....a prelude to our upcoming Queensland trip. It was so nice to just lay in the sand, read, and watch the cute dogs and children frolicking near the waves. We also stopped by Hotel Esplanade, aka: the Espy, a well-known bar/music venue, and had a snack and tasty beverage. As we were walking home, we spotted a majestic building in a South Melbourne neighborhood and found it was a town hall built in 1880, in an area formerly known as Emerald Hill. Apparently, the hill where the hall now stands used to be a green island with swamp-land around it- that's why it acquired the name Emerald Hill. Mark also read on a sign that the building had formerly been the South Melbourne library.
