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.
Rating XXX, or should I say XXXXX on plant porn scale.

ReplyDeleteWere you in the Block Arcade on Tuesday at 3-ish?
Was wandering about there with my son who hadn't been there before, took him as you'd nudged me with your previous photos lol.
Posted a few pics on my blog from our arvo in the city yesterday - Oh! You've got to check out Wunderkammer at 439 Lonsdale st, science museum/shop, fabulous!
Hey chrome. Well, orchid does come from the Greek word for testicles (orchis)...
ReplyDeleteHi Jayne. No, I actually took this pic on Saturday (been sorely lacking inspiration last few days). Glad you took your son there - it's one of Melbourne's gems.
And, coincidentally, I walked past Wunderkammer on Daturday too and thought I should go in (but didn't). I was quite taken by the skeleton reclining lasciviously in the window. I work very close to there though so will pop in on my lunch break.
