I decided to educate myself a little with a walk along Johnston Street from Brunswick Street to Hoddle Street. I am not sure how far it is, maybe two to three kilometres. I knew there were buses to catch back. Flat and downhill is one thing. Uphill is another for my non Sydney trained legs.
I didn't take too many snaps. Ah, there is the famous or infamous Tote Hotel. It is not pretty so I did not take a snap. The further I went the more industrial it became. I can't say Johnston Street is pretty, but it is interesting.
But how gorgeous is the Bendigo Hotel!

This, presumable a house, is unusual for Melbourne with its bluestone ground level and brick second storey.
The very first edition of The Age, 1854, has a front page report on the construction of St.Marks in Collingwood.
ReplyDeleteyou haven't solved that restaurant puzzle?
I luv the artwork on top of the shop awnings in Melb. Is there a dedicated site to them, Andrew?
ReplyDeleteI haven't solved the restaurant puzzle yet. It will come to me, or I will post what I have written and someone will remember.
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of Anon. There should be especially as such things are inclined to be very temporary. I have enough to do with old signs.
