A giant poppy sunshade at the back of the Shrine of Remembrance.
A visit to the Shrine wasn’t on Zoe’s holiday list, but an early finish at the Aquarium gave us the opportunity.
The 10m tall Exhibition Fountain by Josef Hochgurtel, on the south side of the Royal Exhibition Building.
Another day trip with Zoe today which saw us land in rainy Spotswood for a visit to Scienceworks. A big part of that was a walk around the old heart of Melbourne’s sewer system – the 1895 Spotswood Pumping Station.
Melbourne’s Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens. The Royal Exhibition Building sits next to the Melbourne Museum and is the largest exhibit in it’s collection.
The flip side view from yesterday’s view of the Parliament Houses. Looking up ANZAC Parade towards the Australian War Memorial, with Mt Ainslie looming over it.
… or perhaps that should be Parliament Houses. Looking down ANZAC Parade, in the front is Old Parliament House opened in 1927. Behind it is the current Parliament House on Capital Hill. Construction started in 1981 and it was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988, during the bicentennial celebrations.
The UNESCO World Heritage Listed Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney. Governor Macquarie ordered the barracks built to house convicts in an attempt the improve law and order. The design was the by convicted forger Francis Greenway, which earned him a pardon.
Looking across the Pool of Reflection to the Sydney ANZAC Memorial.
The 1891 Warrnambool Town Hall in 2008. The building has since been refurbished and reopened as the Lighthouse Theatre.
The Manifold Clock Tower in Camperdown. The tower was built with a bequest from T.P. Manifold, Esq, and donated to the town of Camperdown in 1896.
The Camperdown Post Office was built in 1863 from local bluestone, and remodelled a number of times up to 1940. The Post Office is now protected by heritage listing. Unfortunately I can’t identify the interesting pillar box.
