    Not a real convent (anymore), Abbotsford is, rather, a convocation of heritage buildings housing cafés, galleries, farmers' markets, craft markets and places to sit outdoors on a summer's day. Read more

    Beautiful old, gothic convent on the banks of the Yarra turned into a community farm and centre. Great little food places too. One of my favourite spots in Melbourne. Best visited on a weekend.

    Gorgeous little precinct with lush gardens, a few restaurants, an open air cinema in the summertime, and a plethora of markets and events throughout the year.

    I could spend the whole day here, eating at Lentil as Anything, buying fresh good veggies at the organic market and walking along the Yarra.

    Make sure to bring two $2 coins. One for parking and the other for the farmers' market, if that's what you're there for.

    c3 gallery has openings every so often, on a Wednesday. It's the one on the garden side that looks a bit like a cellar!

    Donate to keep this place as is. Don't let development spoil this cultural institution.
