It stopped operating as a post office in 2001 after fire severely damaged it internally. It now operates as a shopping centre. All distances in Victoria are calculated from this point so it is at both a geographical and cultural heart of the state.

You can see another perspective of this shot on my other Padlet. The blue glazed building is the Rialto Tower and was the tallest in Melbourne for a number of years and it was the tallest reinforced concrete structure in the world when completed. It is now dwarfed by the Eureka Tower (Rear Center).]]> 2016-11-07 04:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bowendjayz/1i135rvd40l7/wish/135669350 bowendjayz https://padlet.com/bowendjayz/1i135rvd40l7/wish/135670594 The bridge is the Webb bridge, probably one of the most photographed bridges in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. This is not the best view of the bridge as this image was taken to capture the buildings, colours and reflected light on the pathway.  Go this link to find out more http://dynamic.architecture.com.au/awards_search?option=showaward&entryno=20053006, or just google images.

Major redevelopment of the Spencer Street Station at the beginning of the century (2004) provided much expanded suburban, regional and interstate rail capacity and interchanges with coach and of course tram services in time for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. It was at this time the station adopted a new name.

This bridge was replaced as part of the Melbourne docklands redevelopment. The original bridge was the Charles Grimes bridge which connected Footscray road on the north bank with Montague Street on the south. A new road was built through the defunct rail yards to the rear of Spencer Street station and connected to Montague St. via the new Charles Grimes bridge; this being Wurundjeri Way. The old road through the docks was renamed to Harbour Esplanade.  Wurundjeri  is the name of the local aboriginal people of the Kulin Nation.

This image is my interpretation of the area, I love the colour combinations of natural blue of the sky and the orange parapets. Can you see whats not quite right here?]]> 2016-11-07 04:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bowendjayz/1i135rvd40l7/wish/135672272 bowendjayz https://padlet.com/bowendjayz/1i135rvd40l7/wish/135732686 China Town, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

This station predates Spencer street and sits at the intersection of Flinders and Swanston Streets. The local phrase 'Meet you under the Clocks' refereed to meeting at the top of the steps under the clocks. The clocks were used to indicate the departure time of the next train on each line and were manually set by station hands.
You can see this are is dominated by the station but diagonally opposite is St. Pauls Cathedral and directly opposite is Federation Square. A famous Pub can be found on the remaining corner.
Being a busy intersection the coulours are dominated by street traffic, trams and buses along with the ever changing traffic lights. The Buildings Limestone facade and lead capped towers provide a complimentary match.
