Melbourne CBD 2025
The Flinders Street / Swanston Street corner of the CBD caught from the Art Centre looking over the Yarra River. The dome of Flinders Street Station peaks out from behind the trees. St Paul’s Cathedral spires tower over the corner, followed by the gothic revival 196 Flinders Street – once home to the Metropolitan Gas Company, now Torrens University Melbourne campus. While Federation Square appears to sit on Princes Bridge from this angle.

Bin Chicken
A break in the summer heat made for a pleasant dog walk this evening. An unusual sight in the horse paddock tonight – a straw-necked ibis. The straw-necked ibis areseen less often than the Australian White Ibis we but they are not rare.

Snow Ready
Zoe is busy making sure that Gran and Grampy stay on their feet in the car park at Lake Mountain back in 2014. Or maybe they are carting her off to the police car behind them!

Mid Afternoon Sun
Bushfires locally in Croydon and further afield in the Grampians swathed Melbourne in smoke yesterday afternoon. The sky, and the sun, turned orange; that and the wind took some of the heat out of the day – perfect weather for swimming.

Lilydale Lake
A mid-week trip out to Lilydale Lake. The Guides had arranged a canoeing session for their year-end break-up, and they had a perfect night for it. A group of Australian, or Eurasian Coots (Fulica atra) came over to check out their new floating buddies.
