Sean Nairn Small garden planted with rosemary alongside the tram line at Port Melbourne as a tribute to soldiers of WWI who passed this spot on their way to Princes Wharf before joining the fighting in Europe. A quiet spot for reflection. The North Port Hotel is just across the way for a drink or meal, otherwise jump on a tram to Port Melbourne for more options.
