Awesome Melbourne tourist attraction!

Check it out, it's a rock! Actually it's a super cool glacial Antarctic rock, brought from Mawson station and put here to commemorate the centenary of the Victorian Royal Society. That was back in 1959. I worked across the road from here for years, and I didn't come over to read the plaque until much later when I was visiting the city with the kids.

It's on the corner of Exhibition and LaTrobe streets, so go and see the Antarctic rock!

Tasty lunch on a park bench

At last I get to try Miss Chu rice paper rolls! I've got takeaway here, and I'm eating outside the Royal Society of Victoria. The rolls are yum, and the sauce with them is not only delicious, but comes in a darling little bottle I'll probably keep! There is an awesome tourist attraction just near me ...

Go to the Myer toy department!

There are some cool Lego models, including this excellent Flinders St station.

Outstanding view

From the ladies loo! Well, just outside it. Old and new Melbourne.

A very Melbourne mural

Loving this artwork on the wall at Emporium Melbourne. It's made of photos from Melbourne's history. Some I recognise - the triangle in the bottom left corner is the Hopeton Tea Rooms, where Jeff's Nana worked many years ago.

And if you like Zentangles...

... you'll be grabbing a pen about now. Zentangles are a drawing method based on finding cool patterns and incorporating them into drawings. This is the sort of pattern you'd go mad for!

Winter day joy

There seem to be a lot of rainbows around Melbourne at the moment.
