Abbotsford Convent

Down from Collingwood train station, go east to the Yarra River, and walk along the river for ten minutes to this quiet and interesting place. It was a church asset and now resembles a creative park, including a small farm, and the old religious buildings now have restaurants and artists' studios, which are very distinctive.

Abbotsburg Abbey, once a place where priests have been living for more than 100 years, has become a place for locals to gather to eat, drink, shop and experience life and art.
