BEDIA: Day 15 – Around Town – Melbourne by Phone


I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love my home city. Melbourne has always been great. It’s a place where you can be walking down one street that’s lined with the crappiest, cheapest, nastiest souvenier shops and then turn a corner and be walking past the likes of Chanel and Prada. It’s a place where you can be in the middle of China town and then walk down an alley-way to a hidden Irish bar. It’s a place where multi-storey high-rises tower above tiny churches. The people are often freaky or hipster cool. You can be hobnobbing with lawyers and barristers at one end of town, bumping uglies with senators and ministers at the other and singing along with buskers in the middle.

All pictures taken on the way to work on what was my last ever day of working in the city. I miss it.

But only sometimes.

With views like this, who wouldn’t want to work in Melbourne? This was the view from the 15th floor of 101 Collins Street – my place of employment for two weeks.
