Hey Andrew. Time lapse? No...um the wheel doesn't go round. Well, it's meant to, obviously, but it's a lemon.
Hi db. I know. What an embarrassment. I was surprised and pleased to see a fairly respectable crowd at the shopping centre at the base of the wheel though. Hopefully the whole Harbourtown development won't be a total white elephant.
* 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.
Great photo of the wheel. Was it time lapse?

ReplyDeleteAh yes the giant scrap metal heap. It is going to be one year at least before they get it going again.

Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteYep, massive white elephant that belongs in the circus...
Think you might enjoy looking through Fading Victoria
Hi Jayne. It still looks kinda cool though. But not exactly worth however many millions of dollars just to look at.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that link. I love it. Fabulous photos!
