Flying from Sydney to Melbourne - fun to snap the landscape and fiddle with the new camera.

Tricks of the lens, light and window glass. The world became a train-set miniature...

 The Clocktower Hotel in Carlton.

These little apartments have laundry, kitchenette & access to shops - just perfect!!

 Everyone was talking about the election.

New leadership... creepy posters!

 RMIT Cathedral - many happy couples there on the Sunday that I arrived.

Photographers in tow, the were waiting in line for key locations!

Ratt still tours!

 Super diverse, super clean, super busy!

It is rated as one of the "most liveable" cities in the world.

Saw my first "nip & tuck" on the street outside a cafe. 

It was scary and kind of sad. Did not really compute.

 Aids Day Concert - Hairspray.

I miss you, SF!

 The light was stunning.

 Final fun for the day - just south of my hotel in the "CBD"

(Central Business District)

A nice, if tame crowd...

 They were having SO MUCH FUN!

Everyone laughing and smiling - no matter what. Great energy!!

 Carlton - lots of classic Victorian look homes from the early settlement of Perth.

Tin roofs on many of them - as was traditional then. Apparently it has come back in style.
