- 3. 03 South Yarra Social. Where the story begins. In a land not too far away (only 15 minutes drive from the city), youll find a rich and storied place where people seem to glide from social engagement to domestic arrangement. Within the cluster of cafes and boutiques, there is a building covered in cascading vines that stands tall above Toorak Road. This is Rockley Gardens, and youre about to meet its residents as they go about their daily business in South Yarra. Their lives intersect and overlap in fascinating ways that will make you want to immerse yourself in this world. I N T R O D U C T I O N
- 5. 07 A garden rendezvous. Gossip and greens. Wherever their separate lives take them, Rockley Gardens residents always come together again in the lush green surrounds of the park. Lovingly landscaped by Oculus Landscape Architecture, it provides a picturesque place to meet, retreat and rendezvous. Step beyond the greenery and you just might spot strangers swapping pet stories, best friends sharing secrets, mindfulness gurus whispering affirmations or married couples strolling hand-in-hand, silently appreciating the serenity. The rush and roar of traffic feels a million miles away, and the network of paths within the park provide an inviting portal to the natural world. L I F E S T Y L E

Rockley Gardens residents love its sense of community and cosmopolitan character, not to mention its legendary restaurants and caf culture. Their lives intertwine and their interests intersect against a backdrop of yoga studios, iconic W-class trams and designer fashion. L I F E S T Y L E
