Melbourne: morning at the market



You walk into the big hall to be greeted by the sounds of food commerce.

Your first job -  the fruit and vegs.

Then...coffee and cake!

Melbourne: iron & steel

Steel and Light (Yasuharu Takanashi)

There is unexpected beauty in the western parts of Melbourne ...





New York City from the water

"Manhattan" (Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra)


Manhattan Island.




Millions of people, billions of stories.

Sounds of the city, layer upon layer.

But from the water, it's a postcard from the 1940s.

Melbourne: Grey is Good

Often grey doesn't get very good publicity.
But Melbourne is an expert in grey.
Grey in Melbourne has pretty pastels and endless shades of itself.

Summer at the Bay: hot sand

Hear the sound of nice little waves lapping on the sand...

Hear the sounds of kids at the pool

Summer at the Bay: beach

People from far afield like to visit Hervey Bay.
And watch the action - be the action - or just laze around.
Today's summer music: "Sunny Afternoon" (The Kinks)
