My favourite spots to sit in Melbourne

Having been a recent fan of de-digitising my life and touching grass more, I have become a fan of taking long walks and also just sitting.

Fitzroy Gardens

Specifically this tree. Fitzroy Gardens is probably my favourite gardens of the big gardens surrounding Melbourne CBD. It has the best balance of being interesting with beautiful gardens and also having little enough going on that it feels peaceful to just sit there for hours.

H&M Stairs

Peak people watching spot in the city. Bonus if there is someone busking.

Southbank Promenade

Hybrid of the above. There’s enough going on it makes for some good background noise - like the equivalent of brown noise I guess. But also unchaotic enough that it’s easy to just exist there for a while, to move between mindfulness and people watching as needed.
