No matter where you go, if you’re on the river side of the city you’ll be able to see the Eureka Tower looming above the other buildings. I must visit the skydeck lookout one day! These shots were taken from the bridge near the Flinders Street Train Station. And that’s the train station with the…

Canoeing on the Yarra River
Canoeing is a popular sport with local schools and you will often see people first thing in the morning on the river. I thought the second shot rather amusing. You could say they lost their heads…
A visit to the city…
city of Melbourne that is. Some friends I haven’t seen in years were holidaying in Melbourne this past week so I took the opportunity to go in early one morning to meet with them and took a walk along the Yarra River while waiting. Glad I went in early, it was a beautiful morning. Here…
A visit to the city
I was attending a business networking event in the City of Melbourne last week. When I’m not taking photos I’m actually working as a Virtual Assistant – a role I enjoy, but I must admit, my camera calls to me every day and there are some days I’d rather be outside all day, and not…
On a beautiful winter's day
My ever patient husband rugged up at the beach while he waited for me to take photos of the sunset. We were returning him to the hospital after a short stay at home.
Sunset at Elwood Foreshore
This is taken from Elwood Foreshore (Melbourne) looking across the bay towards Williamstown on the horizon.
A walk along the shore
I love Melbourne’s beaches. There are paths for walkers and cyclists, and others who choose to enjoy the beaches there. At Elwood there’s a separate path for walkers to those on bikes and skateboards.
View of the City from the foreshore
We went for a brief visit to the Elwood Foreshore because it had been a beautiful day and I wanted to capture the sunset. Graham had to be returned to the hospital after a visit home so we thought a quick trip to the beach would be good to do. Very cold but. This is…
Crisp winter mornings
Well, winter has arrived here in Victoria, but then you probably already knew that from other comments made over the past month or two. Anyway, we had the most spectacular week last week. Cold but not windy and wet. Made for some awesome mornings as the sun rose. This shot is literally just outside our…
Went to the beach and…
When Graham had walked far enough we went back to the car so he could just sit in the warm and watch people passing by. Sometimes I would sit with him and other times I could hop out the car to get shots of different things. Even just of the waves rolling in.
Went to the beach and…
I took my husband out for a drive and a walk. We’ve walked a bit around the hospital but he was keen to get some fresh air away from there so we went had lunch and then drove down to the foreshore nearby at Elwood. So the next few days of shots will be of…
Anzac Day
Today is Anzac Day in Australia – ANZAC being short for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. Probably one of the most important days in Australia’s calendar. You can read more about it here. For the first time Graham and I attended an Anzac Day Memorial Dawn Service. There were tens of thousands of people doing…
