I used to work next to the church (in the tower above Melbourne Central) and there used to be all these clay animals on the roof of the building next door. Every so often they would be moved around. Could never figure out why.
Hi Victoria. I thought so! I wondered if they were flying the flag for that reason. I can't say I've ever noticed any flags there before. much less an American one.
Hi db. What the? Clay animals that move around? That's very peculiar! I have a "what the?" moment when I'm walking home under the Swan Street bridge where there is a hand shape cut from what looks like Astro-turf stuck to the base of the bridge! Eh?
* It has a lane named after rock band AC/DC and a swimming pool named after a Prime Minister who is believed to have drowned at sea
* Its vibrant multiculturalism
* Royal Botanic Gardens.
* Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
* The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city
* The domed reading room of the State Library.
* The eucalyptus trees and old lamps beside the river near Fed Square.
* The huge mural spanning the length of the side wall of Dimmey's discount department store in Green Street Richmond
* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.
* The street art (commissioned and otherwise).
* The Victorian architecture, especially the interior of 333 Collins Street, the Olderfleet Building and the Melbourne Safe Deposit Building on Queen Street
* The view of the city at night from the Swan Street Bridge.
* The Windsor end of Chapel Street
* There's always a festival or major event happening.
very apt :)

It is good to have those moments FL. I have emailed you a picture of the animals from google maps. Bit fuzzy but you can see the outlines of them.
