REFLECTION

A corner on one of the busiest thoroughfares in Melbourne, Hoddle St that becomes Punt Rd, further South. Reflected in the glass is the Collingwood Housing Commission Building built 1971. There are 47 of these template designed steel framed concrete towers consisting of pre-cast slabs covered in exposed aggregate, some as tall as 20 to 30 storeys, which were constructed across inner Melbourne during the 1960s and early 1970s.

DRIVING IN THE CITY

You know you're in Melbourne if you're driving on the left side of the road and you do hook right hand turns, watching to avoid trams! Oh, and it's Spring in October!

ROAD TRIP

A road trip, sometimes spelled roadtrip, is a long-distance journey traveled by car. When I was younger, this was something I enjoyed and used to do a lot of, all around the world. Times were a little different then and one felt safer on the roads, being able to depend on the fellowship and help of other drivers on the road, especially in remote locations.

A little different nowadays, as many hidden dangers lurk on our highways and one has to be very careful on a road trip. Nevertheless, it still is a worthwhile adventure and with good planing it can turn out very well. Are you a fan of road trips?

RAINY EVENING

A cold, rainy Autumn evening in Melbourne. Everyone (well almost!) is indoors quite cosy with the heater on and the electric blanket warming the bed...

SUMMER RAIN

Our weather has been up and down like a yo-yo lately. Yesterday we were sweltering with a high of 31˚C that felt like high 30s because of the humidity, and today, a high of 21˚C and rain nearly all day, making it feel like in the high teens. We were warned of an El Niño Summer, but the meteorologists recanted... Crazy weather for crazy times.

SUMMER CITY

Sunny Summer day on Chapel St, South Yarra. Melbourne’s Chapel Street Precinct runs from the Yarra River to Dandenong Road, through the well-to-do metropolitan suburbs of South Yarra, Windsor & Prahran. A strong retail presence, including expensive boutiques and iconic major brand storefronts, vie with multiple eateries and cafés, restaurants and bars, as well quirky unique shops in the precincts of Yarra Lane, Commercial Road, Greville Street and High Street. The Prahran Market offers fresh food and produce as well as epicurean delis, butchers and fishmongers.

DETRAFFICKED

Weekday, time of the afternoon peak hour traffic. Huh? Where are all the cars? You say. Well, this is COVID lockdown normal for Melbourne. Today we had a release of a "Roadmap out of the COVID Lockdown". It was a bit of a joke, as painfully it has confirmed lockdown will stay and most industries will be shut or highly restricted until the end of October, in a bid to prevent our health system from being overrun by COVID-19...
