Trunk

 

An early Sunday morning view of the outdoor dining area of the enchanting Trunk restaurant in Melbourne.

The building was originally built in 1859 as a synagogue.

It then became a state school until 1892 and then became a child care facility for this slum and poor area of Melbourne.

Now that fabric has disappeared, and the premises has been operating as a restaurant since 1980.

And the food is brilliant!

meandering space

many odd shapes and profiles

many old secrets

Big Red Guy

On the walkways round the Yarra River in Melbourne are many colourful elephants.
They celebrate the 150th anniversary of Melbourne Zoo.

Red Glow for Writers

Took a group of Year 9 students into Melbourne last Friday.
Inside the Ian Potter Gallery at Flinders Street was this banner advertising the current Melbourne Writers Festival.
There were a number of these banners in different colours with varying, creative images in the upper "head" of the banner.
At the bottom of the photo is a Swedish writer being interviewed.
