Girl in Melbourne: Stone

Stone

This is Merritts Place, a private (but accessible) lane, behind my work. It has fantastic old brickwork and weathered wood (not shown here), cobblestones and a great old bluestone building, the side wall of which you can see here. I don't recommend walking along the lane in heels - the cobblestones have big gaps between them.
