Docklands Guide
The Docklands neighbourhood lies directly west of Melbourne's central business district along the Yarra River and Victoria Harbour. Docklands is currently enjoying a revitalisation of its residential, shopping and entertainment activities.
You will find great deals on a wide range of items at the shopping districts in Harbour Town, NewQuay, Waterfront City, and Yarra's Edge. From local boutiques to major retailers' direct outlets, there's always a treasure to be found when you are shopping in Docklands, and the wide promenades, ocean breezes, and trendy cafes and bars dotting the streets aren't bad, either.
