Another unidentified coat of arms newly restored on Princes Bridge. Each of the local councils that funded the new bridge were commemorated in having their coat of arms adorn the arches.
A newly restored coat of arms on the Princes Bridge. The motto reads “Virtute et fide” – by virtue and faith or, by valour and fidelity. Each of the councils that funded the building of the bridge were commemorated with their coat of arms. This looks like a historic City of Melbourne coat of arms – being a close copy of that of that of the Viscount of Melbourne.

More of Bees by Mike Makatron (@mike.makatron). This is the section right under the King Street bridge over Yarra Promenade. Yesterday’s Bees carries on from this one on the right, I missed a very small section in the middle so I couldn’t join them up neatly – next time!

Summer hit with a vengeance this week with a 44°C day. Only a few weeks ago this pond behind work was teeming with little fish and insects flitting around the surface. Now all that remains is cracked mud.
A 1949 Farmall Cub at the Kyneton Agricultural Show 2025. The Cub was the smallest tractor made by International Harvester between 1949 and 1979. This photo shows the offset driving position to make it easier working in paddocks.
A close-up of the grille of the 1962 Singer Gazelle (IIIC) at the Numurkah Agricultural Show 2025. The Rootes Group had acquired Singer along with Hillman, Humber, Sunbeam, Talbot, Commer and Karrier. Rootes was acquired from 1964 by Chrysler.
