Astor Theatre is so far the coolest cinema I have ever experienced. The cat just did it for me, and I didn't even care about my allergy :) Went there for an Audrey Hepburn night in February. Cool and recommendable!
* 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.
It looks like a cat who owns the place. What are you looking at, huh?
ReplyDeleteNothing is complete unless there is a cat reclining, somewhere ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a new Astor kitty. That one looks pissed off!
ReplyDeleteLove your pics too GIM.
Hi Chrome. Yep, he's the boss.
ReplyDeleteHey Jayne. Must get cat (I'm not far off crazy cat lady age).
Hello Margarita. Yes, I believe it is a new one. Kitties don't last forever.
PS Margarita. I think it was annoyed to be interrupted from sleeping to be blinded by my camera flash. And thanks!
ReplyDeleteAww, you were right around the corner from where I live :) I have yet to go to the Astor though - I am glad to hear it has a resident kitty.
ReplyDeleteHi Deidre. You should go! It's an experience and the choc tops are ace.
