Excellent work. This is one of the best photo tours of Melbourne.....ever! You managed to capture the people, charm, and mix of old and new that makes Melbourne what it is in this series. Those are also the clearest photos yet from Eureka Skydeck. Very well done!

You've truely captured the essence of Melbourne. Outstanding job.
How did you overcome the glare on the windows up at Eureka? I recall having no choice but to put it with it on my visit there.

WAuzzie...I think your no2 in the first pic was the Mercy Hospital on the far side of the Fitzroy Gardens...It is being gutted and turned into very expensive apartments....From memory the penthouse sold for many millions a couple of weeks ago??? sorry can't remember figure now but think it was a record. It is not very tall...the height you see in pic is it's final height.

Yeah, the glare is really bad. All north-east facing pix from Eureka skydeck are from the outside terrace so no glare..

You need to clean your glasses. It is a rainfall deficiency chart. Qld is clearly the wettest place in the nation.

Gotta love Melbourne, nice work (even if its a year old)

Looking forward to getting over to Melbourne tommorow. Been at least 2 years since I've been there
