Hi Victoria. No, I forgot to make a guess before I saw it. I was coming from the opposite direction so my whole routine was thrown out.
Hi Cath. No probs. I'm always curious to check out the blogs of anyone who comments on mine.
Hey db. Sometimes things just look better in black and white. Fortunately, I was coming from the South Yarra side, so I only walked down the hill. I do walk up it sometimes - gets the heart pumping.
* 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.

FL - is the hill on your normal route home or can you detour along the river?
ReplyDeletesad to hear but Nylex is going to sell up. One more Oz company gone.
No, not on my normal route. I live just on the city side of Punt Road. I was coming home from an appointment in Windsor.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Nylex was being sold off. Yep, another one bites the dust. I hope the new owners don't abandon the Nylex clock...
Aaaah. So it's cooling down? We stayed in South Yarra when we visited.
ReplyDeleteFL - I think the clock is heritage listed like the skipping girl sign.
