Flinders Wharf Apartments

Flinders Wharf (previously known as Flinders Wharf Apartments) is located in the Docklands area, along the northern bank of Melbourne's Yarra River on the edge of Melbourne's central business district. The 300-apartment complex is home to a multicultural blend of personalities and is a short walk from Southern Cross Station (formally Spencer Street Station), Flinders Street Station, Crown Casino, Docklands Stadium and many of Melbourne's other attractions. Most of the complex consists of residents who either own or lease their apartment. Some of the apartments are "short stay" apartments, where individuals or groups stay for a short period (usually less than a month) due to the site's proximity to Melbourne's vibrant CBD and excellent facilities, including a fully equipped gymnasium, sauna, steam room, heated lap pool and heated spa.

A convenience store is also contained within the complex.

On the western side of the complex, the Victorian State Government has developed an open space for recreational use known as Seafarers Rest.

The state government is currently redeveloping the other side of the river to include a hotel, shopping complex, restaurants and conference centre. A new cross bridge from Flinders Wharf to the new area has been built and is operational.

Famous quotes containing the word wharf:

    They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
