            | Alexandra Gardens | |
| The Alexandra Gardens lie across the river from the Melbourne central business district making a verdant break between the Yarra River and Alexandra Avenue.
 They are a popular and busy location during Melbourne's Moomba festival, being a good vantage point for watching the water sports. During Moomba a fairground attracts thousands of families to enjoy the rides, carnival food and busy atmosphere. | ||

Along the river close by the Princes Bridge are the elegant old 'boat sheds', used by the rowing clubs. From here sculling teams practice regularly despite the often chilly conditions. | |
| To get there by public transport: Southbound tram except 1 or 2 to stop 18 For a panorama which includes these gardens, click here.
