A Walk Through Melbourne // Southern Cross to Melbourne Central!

Join me on a stroll through Melbourne's Central Business District, watching lots of trams and trains and a few other things along the way. We start at about 3:45pm on the afternoon of Wednesday 25th of January 2023. It's a warm summer afternoon but not too hot - about 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). We get off a train at Southern Cross station, then walk south along Spencer Street, east up Flinders Street (catching a W class tram part of the way), north up Elizabeth Street, east along Collins Street, and north up Swanston Street - the busiest tram corridor in the world. Finally we drop down into Melbourne Central station.

This is obviously a very long-form video and probably won't be to everyone's taste, but the aim of this kind of thing is to capture a snapshot of the city at this particular moment in time, and will hopefully be even more interesting in the future. I enjoy making this kind of video, and will hopefully do some more in the future!
