Lesson learned: There is a difference between a reasonable general "travel snap" shot (which can be quite OK if it's needed for a travelogue) and a reasonably good photo.
So I then walked down to Princes Bridge and the Yarra, which was a hive of activity in the miserable overcast dawn.
Continuing the theme, the postcard shot of the view downriver under the bridge is OK considering the gloom :

My previous style of a general shot containing multiple points of interest for a travelogue ...
... was losing out to attempts to get better, closer shots of a single subject :
After a coffee and a little shopping, I then made my first visit to Melbourne's redeveloping Docklands.
The (new) "Best" photo was this one ...
