Your life must not be lived in the rain, see Luna Park, you’ll smile again.
The venerable amusement park Luna Park opened its doors in December 1912. Situated on the foreshore of Port Phillip Bay in St. Kilda, Melbourne, the surrounding area offers many-a sights as well. St. Kilda used to be a bit rough back in the days and was renowned for its red light district. Over the years, bohemians, artists and all sorts of beach folk moved there, hence it is full of stories to discover (and recently under the thread of gentrification).
“Dreaming with Open Eyes”
Luna Park features the famous Heritage listed Great Scenic Railway. The wooden track is world famous as the world’s oldest continually operating roller coaster. When we were there the roller coaster was closed for maintenance. If you do get to ride it though, you will enjoy scenic views of the park and the bay.
The remarkable Magical Carousel had been manufactured by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1913 and is one of the most elaborate in the Southern hemisphere. If you are looking for a seaside getaway, maybe St. Kilda is the place to go?
Hey,
I’m working on my debut poetry book and preparing a mailing list. Would you like me to add your e-mail address please? If so, can you share it with me?
I don’t plan to do it like hard core promotion, I will be e-mailing you privately not through any software.
I will just inform you when it’s available and when there is some huge fluctuation in price (sale etc.), as on WordPress reader, posts get lost in stampede.
I won’t be mailing you more than 4 to 5 times a year, and that’s max. Promise!
And if you want it to share it privately you can do that through contact form on my blog.
Thank you 🙂
Great post
