Brighton to St Kilda Walk

Today was a beautiful crisp clear winter's day in Melbourne, so instead of picking up an offer of a shift at work, I spent the afternoon on the beach instead. Specifically, I took the metro train down to Brighton, and then slowly walked up to St Kilda, taking a good four hours to do so.

This is the first time I'd actually had a good look at the iconic bathing boxes in Brighton. They're actually very cute and colourful, and there were a surprising number of tourists around taking pictures of them.

Other than that, it was actually quite unusual to be walking up to St Kilda from the south. It's more typical to come into St Kilda from the north, from the city side. At least for tourists and for inner city people like myself. So some of the views from just south of St Kilda were interesting. Both in terms of seeing St Kilda itself from a different angle, as well seeing the distant city skyline with a different foreground.

Here's a selection of pics from the afternoon:
