I want to ask Melburnians, why is there such a carefree sense of freedom that seems to disregard everything else

Gardens everywhere, everywhere! And they're all free~ As soon as the sun comes out, the lawns are full of people. With my friend @Mcdull's Travel Diary, I strolled through gardens, taking photos along the way, and couldn't help but marvel at Melbourne's relaxed vibe‌~ People running, reading, sunbathing by the roadside, even a convent is full of artistic flair. 🌄Every time I finish visiting NGV, I love sitting on Southbank and daydreaming. Kayaks pass by in front of me, one after another. Turns out a city can be this livable~ · Here are a few Melbourne gardens I recommend. Go live like a local~ 1️⃣Fitzroy Gardens (home to Captain Cook's Cottage, though the outside of the cottage is prettier than the inside) 2️⃣Melbourne Park: When watching the Australian Open, I love walking back to the hotel along Melbourne Park. The Yarra River's relaxed vibe‌ is at its peak. 3️⃣Carlton Gardens: Iconic Exhibition Building + fountain, full of English charm, but I heard it was a University of Melbourne execution ground. International students have a bit of dark humor. 4️⃣Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne 5️⃣Albert Park: This is an F1 racetrack! The CBD in the middle of the lake is truly beautiful. 6️⃣Abbotsford Convent: An Italianate convent built in 1889, once one of Melbourne's early charitable convents. Not many people, good for photos. 7️⃣Southbank: Although not a park, the Yarra River always holds the souls yearning for freedom~ · Besides that, Melbourne has its own La La Land, with 2 absolute favorite sunset spots: 1️⃣St Kilda: Stay a bit later, and you can see little penguins come ashore. 2️⃣Point Ormond Lookout: By the sea! All romantic and free souls! I really admire how foreigners are so unashamed about love! I want to ask Melburnians, is this carefree, relaxed vibe‌ of yours that seems to disregard everything else innate? Melbourne, Victoria

Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria - Melbourne Gardens

A popular outdoor recreation hotspot for locals and travelers alike, Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens is conveniently located in the heart of the city. Thousands of different plants are grown here, and you can discover new views with every entry. Ideal for a picnic with friends, a walk with your pets, or a romantic wedding with a beautiful view, there is elegance and nature all around the grounds. The most recommended tour is to slowly explore from the main entrance, focusing on several notable areas, including the Lakeside Garden, the Herb Garden and the Australian Botanical Area. There are plenty of lawns along the way for companions to sit and enjoy a picnic time together. If you prefer photography, you can take beautiful photos by the pool and in front of a large green grass. There are different varieties of flowers in the garden in different seasons. Keep an eye out for seasonal flowers. In terms of must-see spots, we recommend going to the small bridge in the center of the lake, where the nearby views are healing with reflections and waterfowl; There are wedding decorations in the garden from time to time, the atmosphere is romantic, plus the surrounding fresh environment, the whole person relaxed.
