#ParliamentHouse, 1855-1929 (still unfinished), by Peter Kerr of Knight & Kerr, home of the Parliament of Australia 1901-27. There are often demonstrators on the front steps, as there’s a great vista down #BourkeSt and the architectural backdrop is impressive. At the moment (pics here from Thursday & Saturday) it’s protests against vaccinations and/or mandatory vaccinations and/or vaccination passports and/or government pandemic powers and/or Freedom and/or Other Things… (at Parliament of Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWoiPgXhKWp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Walk to the city 3: #BourkeSt (with the looming #SouthernCrossTower, a glassy replacement by Woods Bagot, 2004, of the 1961 once-glamorous Southern Cross Hotel, itself replacing the magnificent 1879 Eastern Market by Reed & Barnes) #melbournelife (at 121 Exhibition St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWogxmlh3F1/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Uptown art exhibition at the ‘top end’ of #BourkeSt, including Louise Paramor’s joyful sculptures, Bill Henson’s masterful work Untitled 2000-01 at giant scale (best seen at night, natch), and in the old Job Warehouse mysterious installations by John Gollings & Steven Rhall.

Three of the oldest photos of Melbourne, from 1858: #SwanstonSt from #Collins St (with the old Town Hall to the right); the top end of #BourkeSt from #SpringSt; the #Yarra turning basin near the Customs House, showing the waterfall (from the top). I’d never seen the old Town Hall before (current one built from 1867)- here are a couple of drawings. I’d also never seen the Yarra cascade before (dynamited in 1883), instrumental in the choice of this particular spot for “a village” - navigable river below, fresh water above. #SLV collection (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B98-Z4bHoeB/?igshid=78k2toysptf9
