Great Melbourne Concert Hall and Ballet Centre right next door to the Impressive National Gallery of Victoria. Both worth a visit.

Again I felt like being at home. This wonderfull Art Centre offers heaps of ancient and of todays art works. The visitor might get lost in dreaming of ancient days and the way they did different to what we might do today. Nevertheless to me this confirms my feeling at home.

From sitting in the audience with that beautiful curtain, embellished with the lyrebird, just waiting to rise. The ballet takes the stage on this occasion, however this is truly a grand theatre which makes any experience magic, personal and engaging.

This precinct will be even better when all the new renovations are completed. It can be a little challenging at the moment getting from the Southbank precinct through to the Arts Centre
