MY PHOTOS .... explained (03/07/06)

Just realised i have taken a load of photos without explaining them.

The photos can be found here >> http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b134/Paulmalsop/Random%20pics/Melbourne/

and don't forget to click on the sub link - Rialto towers - some great panoramas of Melbourne, and you can probs see my sweaty hand prints on the first few!!

I will do bullet points as i go along. Sorry if the order is a bit mixed up.

- Aussie rules footy at the Melbourne cricket ground (MCG) - note the funny shaped pitch, wierd goals, and 1/2 time little league!
- Pascoe Vale house, road and station - where i live, where i walk up, where i get the train from
- The apostles, loch ard bay and london bridge - part of the rugged shipwreck coast. Loch Ard bay is one of only two points where you can get up to the land along this treacherous coastline. There is a great story surrounding this bay and can be found here >> http://www.greatoceanrd.org.au/highlights/shipwrecks/lochard.asp (lynn and john were on the trip and their camera broke, so i took a photo of them and have sent it to them)-- NOTICE HOW SOAKED I AM!!!
- Rainforest - not tropical, but interesting, and home to a carniverous snail with a jet black shell called the Otway snail - indiginous to this area
- Cockatoos, Bells beach, Round the Twist lighthouse - as mentioned in previous blog entry
- Kings garden - nice day, nice statue
- Eureka tower - the tallest building in Melbourne!!
- Floral clock - what a nice surprise! and a magpie maybe? look different from the Pommie mags
- Supreme court - i go there to watch trials of murder in progress
- Safe deposit building - looked nice, so i snapped it
- Melbourne Arts centre - sculpture and skyline caught my eye
- Picasso exhibition (War and Peace) - nice building, will hopefully get to see the exhibition before i leave
- Horse and Cart - loads of these trotting around melbourne, considered another way to travel
- Fountain - looks nice don't you think?
