Narelle and Yves enjoy a drink in the warm winter sunshine at Kitty O'Sheas, on Cavill Ave.

Two very tall buildings, one slightly shorter, face each other. In the foreground is a river and in the background we can see the world's tallest residential building, the Q1.

Circle on Cavill, a great new place to play that was built in the two years since we were last here. At the bottom of the two buildings, in the middle, is a big circle full of restaurants with a stage in the middle.

Night markets just in front of Cavill Ave are held every Wednesday and Friday night. They sell pretty crafts, homemade soaps, jams, photography, art and clothing.
