My friend and I had a hour or so to spend in the city before attending a concert in Melbourne Town Hall. We decided to go on a short boat trip on the Yarra. At Southgate we boarded a classic steamboat built in 1924, the MV "Grower". We had a very enjoyable time cruising half an hour upstream and half an hour downstream.
Docking.
