Melbourne General Cemetery

 Melbourne General Cemetery is one of the most important cemeteries in Australia. The first burial was in 1853 and there have been more than 3000,000 burials. It is almost a walk back through Melbourne's history with some notable interments, so much so that they do run tours of this cemetery.

Harcourt Rail Bridge Victoria

The Railway Bridge, over Barker's Creek, near Harcourt in Victoria, this bridge was constructed of Harcourt granite in 1859-1861. It is a picturesque three arched bridge on the Bendigo to Castlemain  rail line is still in excellent condition and is on the Victorian Heritage Register.  

We called into Kallista on the way home and blended in with the bus loads of tourists, who were feeding the wild birds there. So I took the opportunity to take some close up photos of Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Crimson Rosella, Long Billed Corella.

Sunset Tooradin Victoria

I just love the sunsets at this time of the year, it is cold and wet but the sunsets on cloudy nights are beautiful.

Flinders Street Station Melbourne

The Heritage listed Flinders Street Station is a railway station situated on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets in Melbourne, Australia. One of Melbourne's most recognisable landmarks and one of the city's much loved cultural icons. 'Under the Clocks' is a favourite Melbourne meeting place, hence the phrase "meet me under the clocks"

No Trains Buangor Victoria

The trains don't stop here any more!!

The Buangor railway station now sadly sits in a state of dis-repair, with it's broken windows, the peeling paint, missing wall boards, the guttering that is falling off.... The rail line first came through around 1875 but I'm not sure if the station building is of that circa..
