Hey db. I've been past it before but never ventured down it. The building with the ivy on it is home to a firm that designs golf courses and there's some apartments there too.
Hey Jayne. I have a thing about old buildings with ivy on them!
Thanks Cath, It is pretty compared with some small laneways in the city, although the long but neat row of wheelie bins detracted from it a little.
* 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.
I had to google maps to find the street. Even though I have probably been past it a thousand times!
