South Yarra is one of Melbourne's most affluent inner-city suburbs, bordered by the Yarra River in the north, Prahran in the south and Toorak to the east.

Shopping, fashion and entertainment are features of South Yarra, with busy Chapel Street lined with exclusive retail outlets, cafes, and the popular Jam Factory shopping and entertainment complex. Around the corner in Commercial Road is Prahran Market - one of Melbourne's oldest, and boasting a large selection of gourmet foods and fresh produce.

Exclusive residences are a feature of South Yarra's network of tree-lined streets, with the historic Como House set on 5 acres and dating back to 1847, open to the public.

South Yarra has a large selection of open space and parkland for visitors and residents. The 41 hectare reserve of Fawkner Park consists of several sporting ovals, tennis courts and a network of shady pathways. The Yarra river features walking and bicycle paths running through parkland along the river bank with panoramic views of the city and riverfront available from the several bridges which cross the river. Herring Island, situated right in the middle of the Yarra River and accessible only by boat, is a 3 hectare reserve featuring BBQ and picnic areas, and a sculputure park.
