The White Hat Guide to St Kilda
This flight provides an
opportunity to view
St Kilda from the air. |
Holiday accommodation in St Kilda Some well known features of St Kilda include the St Kilda Pier (see above), Luna Park, Palais Theatre, National Theatre and St Kilda (Blessigton Street) Gardens. Over time St Kilda has been the home to many artists including Albert Tucker, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd and Mirka Mora.
Hotel Esplanade ("The Espy")The Espy is a legend in Melbourne. Local bands in the front bar, motorbikes out the front, St Kilda beach over the road, unknown substances on the floor. Not the place to wear your best clothes. Few patrons today are aware of its illustrative past, or of one of its famous residents, Alfred Felton, who filled his apartment there with precious works of art in the 1890s. Sat. 2 pm - 3am: Sun 3-11 pm

Veg Out St Kilda Farmers' Market

Fresh & organic produce at Veg Out Community Garden. White Hat recommends a visit to this market if you are interested to see what can be achieved when a suburban bowling green is converted into a community vegetable garden. We should also mention that although the Veg Out title implies vegetarians only, omnivores are catered for. White Hat can recommend this as one of Melbourne's better farmers' markets, with a good atmosphere and a wide range. There is a special twilight market from 4 to 8pm on Wednesday 22 December. |
