Welcome Back! I knew you'd bring home amazing photos! I can't get over how they were able to make ceilings like that. I've only seen those in pictures, must be amazing to be standing in the middle of the room of an awesome place like that.

The eagles on the Chrysler Building are a beautiful design (art deco?) - you don't often see the bottom part of that building.
And I've never seen the Bryant Park Hotel before - what a gorgeous building.

Ace things about Melbourne

* Brunswick Street
* Chapel Street Bazaar.
* 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.
