Local Sights

We live just south of city, sandwiched between the Melbourne Botanical Garden, the Shrine of Remeberance, and a city highway which I have to dodge across every morning to get to work.

The very rare Aussie Red and Aussie Blue tree at the Botanical Gardens. The Aussie White is extinct as I understand it.

We are about a 15 miunte walk south of the bridge that takes you into the city. It has one of the best view of the river and it's a pre-requsite for tourist photos.

So like any good tourist, I took one too...

Flat Down Under

This is our two bedroom flat in Melbourne. We are on the 7th floor of a modern glass box . Perhaps a bit generic, it is very large and comfortable. The best part is that it is only a ten minute walk to the office!

Every morning I wake up to a phallic view of the tallest residential building in the world (you can tell by the crane on top that it is still being erected).
