There's so much water in Lake Wendouree! How fantastic!

Were you at the Back to Booktown event in Clunes?

Not so long ago I was in Ballarat and Lake Wendouree had not a drop in it. So wonderful for them to have water again.

(Maybe this series could be called "Girl just outside of Melbourne").

* 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
