[edit] 'Ends' of Collins Street
Would I be right in assuming that the 'Paris end', which I have written about, is closer to the Treasury? Or is it closer to Docklands?
In fact, that whole Exhibition-Collins-Spring-Flinders Lane block looks very 'Paris'.

The Spring St. end is the Paris end. This is partly because of the outdoor cafes. Also this end of Collins St (from Swanston St. up the hill to Spring) hosts the most expensive boutique shops in Melbourne. Hobo 02:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Financial Heart
I am not sure that the area mentioned as the financial heart of Melbourne in the article is completely true. Allthough the stock exchange is in that locallity there are more large buildings as one apporaches Spring St. Hobo 02:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Docklands area
Collins Street currently does not intersect Bourke Street, it ends in plastic barriers and a T junction with Stadium Drive. Did they build it out to join Bourke, then rip it up again? Or did it never intersect Bourke, and it is only shown to intersect on Google Maps?
