YARRA VIEW FROM CREMORNE

I took this photo from a moving train in Richmond, while crossing the Cremorne Railway Bridge over the River Yarra looking towards the west and the City. Although we are barely into Spring now, most of our native trees are the evergreen Eucalyptus, and our climate is mild enough to give us this type of view, during the cold winter months. We still have quite a lot of natural reserves of native vegetation, especially in many parklands associated with the Yarra. These pockets of indigenous flora and fauna are worth preserving in our City for the future generations...

THE WAY OF PROGRESS...

At Bridge Rd, Richmond, a "new" tram wheels down the road and Victorian brick shops look on, surprised at nothing anymore, ever since they were dwarfed by the utilitarian apartment buildings behind them.

 

"We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive." - C. S. Lewis

In Richmond, beautifully restored, this wonderful old home still exudes the grandeur and grace of a long-gone era.
