May 2012 eNews |
Hello readers
Wasn’t it been wonderful to be in Docklands in April? Our new edition reflects just what a fabulous asset Docklands is for the rest of Melbourne (and the rest of the state).
Apart from punching above our weight in what we contribute the state economy, it is just the most beautiful place to be when the weather is fine and tall ships are on the water.
Browse through the stories mentioned here and, if you still need some more news, go to the edition listing on the website for the complete May picture.
Here is a link to the full PDF version of edition 75.
As always, enjoy the read.
