This is the Seafarers Bridge

across it is the Mission to Seafarers, it is an international organization which cares for the practical and spiritual welfare of seafarers of all nationalities and faiths. The Melbourne Mission, created in 1905, is a volunteer-managed facility providing a home away from home for approximately 12,000 seafarers visiting the Port of Melbourne annually.

This statue is inspired by Bunjil, the eaglehawk regarded as a spirit creator by the Kulin nations, which include the Wurundjeri people, this imposing 25-metre statue, which gazes over the passing traffic of Flinders Street was crafted from jarrah and aluminum, with glass for eyes, was created by Melbourne sculptor Bruce Armstrong.

in front of it, is Polly Woodside, launched in 1885 in Belfast, Ireland by Workman Clark & Co Ltd, one of the largest of the British shipbuilders. The owner was William Woodside, a Belfast ship owner, and the ship was given his wife Marian’s nickname, Polly. The Polly Woodside is a three-masted iron barque. The hull is of riveted wrought iron.

im glad that they retained the original sheds here

shopping starts here

This is the new Melbourne Convention Centre, made up of convention and meeting spaces and a huge exhibition hall, it is the first and only ‘6 Star Green Star’ convention centre in the world and is a technological marvel designed with the environment in mind using fresh air, natural light and solar power. The entry-level foyer has an 18-metre-high glass wall façade overlooking the Yarra River.

@denimjunky sure thing mate, but theyre leaving soon..sad

so i got back my internet today and here comes the other half of Sunday..as mentioned before, i went to Queen Vic Market later that day to buy some incense for the house. Queen Victoria Market is def. a must for tourists as you can basically get everything tourist related items and gifts.

The Queen Victoria Market is famous as the largest and oldest market in the Southern Hemisphere. Opened in 1878, its historic buildings are a natural heritage site and many of the shops from which the traders operate today, are unchanged from days gone by.

The Dairy Hall is perhaps the best known with its distinctive shop fronts and its multicultural offerings in the 38 delicatessens that lie within its walls.

mmm..nice homemade jams

Lovely Turkish bakery, got spinach& feta and potato boreks

Happy Easter!

There are 320 crates in total. The total weight of all the bells is 5 tonnes. The total storage area the handbells cover laid flat is 640m2, or a volume of 18m3."

some interesting read..if its clear enough

approaching the angel, a multi-headed, three-legged Angel, created by Deborah Halpern when she set out to make a sculpture that was “wild, whimsical and colourfulâ€. After standing in front of the National Gallery of Victoria for 18 years,

and some restoration of her 4,000 tiles, Angel was relocated to her present position.

guarded by some mean ass seagulls

some audio thing..which isnt working..but still looks cool

Large rocks incised with animal drawings enclose a performance space, and closer to the river a semi-circle of metal shields represents each of the five groups of the Kulin Nation.

moving on

Quinn would love these!

A textured, twisting pathway acknowledges the significance of the eel as a traditional food source for groups camped by the river.

The old red brick railway building is Artplay, a children’s art centre and gallery

@Mr Haga, i think they fit you fine, just like any of your other pairs

Here comes a small update guys, today i followed my girlfriend to her friends exhibition at a gallery along Flinders Street, sadly no pictures were allowed there, so took some pictures which i thought might be interesting along the way to a Thai restaurant in the city for some early dinner..enjoy!

The not so big Big Wheel

little more of Yarra River

that would be a nice picnic spot

Birrarung' means 'river of mists' while ‘Marr’ refers to the side of the river,comes from the language of the Wurundjeri people who originally inhabited this area
