Great pics! Also in the Metro education section of the Age today there is a brief that mentions Melb Uni's medical school is ranked the best in Oz, beating ANU and Sydney.

*chokes*

I still prefer the brutalism of Monash Clayton though...

The **** at Clayton doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Melbourne Uni IMHO... but each to his own I suppose :p

Great shots Adam! :)

South Lawn looking towards the Old Arts (tower in the centre) and Old Law (arches on the bottom right). for those not familiar with melbourne uni South is a big hangout for many students, especially when its a nice sunny day. often times there is no room at all to sit down!

New law (Below)...slightly off campus
http://www.law.unimelb.edu.au/lrc/template-assets-custom/images/index_img_001.jpg

wont be 'slightly' off campus if the über-university precinct kicks off over the next ten years (joint UniMelb-RMIT on CUB site and surrounds - actually, Monash is cashed up, they should buy CUB off RMIT and develop a true city campus for themselves). :)
