Park Hyatt and St Patrick’s Cathedral

Park Hyatt and St Patrick's Cathedral

The spires of Melbourne’s Catholic St Patrick’s Cathedral acts as a stunning backdrop to the Park Hyatt’s more modern tower. Taken from the room that the CannibalRabbits celebrated their wedding anniversary.

Anniversary 2011

To celebrate our 4th Anniversary we spent a rainy night at the Park Hyatt in the city. A wonderful view out across Parliament Place to the back of the Victorian State Parliament and Melbourne’s CBD.

A lovely room, and fantastic company. Thank you Mrs CannibalRabbit for four wonderful years, and here’s looking forward to a lot more.

Mmm, Lean Cuisine

Lean Cuisine

The plastic, pre-packaged Lean Cuisine “meals” are unappetising to me at the best of time. That was before I saw a giant vat in Pakenham labelled “Lean Cuisine”, yum yum! For some reason I get a mental image of something getting squirted out of the vat on to a plastic tray and being stuffed into a box.

Now it probably tastes lovely but does this really send out the right message? The Leggo’s vat I can understand – that’s probably full of tomato sauce, so that makes sense. Stacks of giant Lean Cuisine boxes painted on the side of the warehouse, good idea. A giant vat labelled with the name of something that is supposed to be solid, umm …

One thing is sure neither of them stack up against the Campbell’s Soup Can in Shepparton.

Winter Solstice

Sunrise in Kilsyth on the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice occurs for a moment when the earth is at its maximum tilt away from the sun, giving us the shortest day. And it was a beautiful foggy, and very cold, morning – just right for catching the sunrise.

Gum Flowers

Here are some flowers on a gum tree just around the corner from work to show that it isn’t all gloom and doom in a wintry Melbourne.  I Love the contrast between the flowers and the dark green foliage, it’s one of the few colourful bursts at this time of year on my lunchtime walks.
