    The front entrance to the massive State Library of Victoria, built in 1913, with the octagonal dome over the reading room one of the largest of its kind in the world at the time.: by flyted, Views[496]
         		 Parliament House, Victoria, home of the government of Victoria, but from 1901 to 1927 it was the Federal Parliament of Australia, before the Old Parliament House was opened in Canberra. The building was built though in 1855, so after meeting there for 46 years, the Victoria Parliament had to vacate to the nearby Royal Exhibition Building, still some pretty nice digs though.: by flyted, Views[1443]
         		 This is the “Atrium” in Federation Square, 5 stories high, with the glass pieces designed to mimic the architecture of the buildings. You can see the Forum being reflected.: by flyted, Views[486]
         		 Originally the State Theatre, built in 1929, in a wild Moorish style including minarets. It was the largest theatre in Australia when built, but converted into a cinema and renamed the Forum in 1963. They renovated it again in 1995 and nowadays the Forum a busy concert and cinema venue, across the street from Federation Square.: by flyted, Views[455]
         		 Looking back across the edge of Federation Square towards the city; Flinders St. Station on the left and the visitors' info booth centre-right, with the Australian Grand Prix poster on the side.: by flyted, Views[424]
     
    Light standards hang over the square for night time and decoration during the day. This view is actually looking across the river, with the needle tower of the Arts Centre at left and Eureka Tower on the right.: by flyted, Views[427]
         		 Locals are quite divided apparently on the modernist look of Federation Square (called the “deconstructivist” style), but it has certainly quickly become Melbourne's great meeting place. Hard to believe just a few years ago nothing like this existed in the city. The complex comprises live theatres, the Australian national cinema, a radio station, and the National Gallery of Victoria, amongst many cafes and restaurants. The building centre-right features a giant screen where big sporting events and other televised events are shown for free. : by flyted, Views[475]
         		 Striking architecture in Federation Square, across the street from Flinders St. Station. Fed Square was only built in 2002, before that it was an open train yard in the heart of the city. A roof was built over the tracks, complete with shock absorbers to diminish the noise of trains below, and a grand public space unveiled above.: by flyted, Views[825]
         		 Flinders Street Station, Melbourne's original, still a hub for city transit and a bustling hub of activity.: by flyted, Views[398]

    Sam and Evie almost buried under a mound of sleeping bags. Ah, comfy and warm tent.: by crustyadventures, Views[1343]

         		 Just what you imagine about country towns; dude reading the paper slowly in front of his shop. (Holbrook NSW): by crustyadventures, Views[1423]
         		 Fantastic shop awning frames the farmer and dog who came ambling my way along the footpath. (Holbrook NSW): by crustyadventures, Views[1393]

    And so to Crossroads, The Farm near Ballarat in time for the weekend wedding. Wheat in the autumn light: by crustyadventures, Views[1417]
         		 Day 3, totally miserable weather and we de-camped to the stone hut to light a fire, hang out with the NZ kids and draw stuff all day. You can just see Evie asleep in her crate on the right.: by crustyadventures, Views[546]

         		 Sam trying out new Mountain HardLad gortex jacket. Matches the tent... LOL.: by crustyadventures, Views[466]
     
    Who says you can't wear a fancy pink girly dress on a sheep farm?: by crustyadventures, Views[626]
         		 Just getting the creases out of that wedding suit and black dress ... We got dressed in the tent and then sauntered across a field to the marquee: by crustyadventures, Views[550]
         		 by crustyadventures, Views[455]
         		 The firepits were a shared affair at Lake Catani campground. We met a family of 5 from NZ out for a week's rockclimbing and a group of conservation students on a field trip. Between all of us, we managed to collect enough wood for a veritable bonfire. Luckily I remembered some marshmallows.: by crustyadventures, Views[821]

    Although it was cold up the mountain, the misty weather made the gum forests look beautiful - all soft colours and head-clearing eucalyptus smells.: by crustyadventures, Views[580]
         		 by crustyadventures, Views[587]
         		 Love the new tent (Vaude)... so much easier to put up than the other one. As for taking it down, I looked after the kids whilst Sam battled ongoing rain to get the whole site packed away, all wet and gritty. Yeeuukk.: by crustyadventures, Views[1727]
         		 by crustyadventures, Views[526]
         		 Incredible how kids are happy to help out in the kitchen and even eat those veggies when they've come straight from the veggie patch.: by crustyadventures, Views[610]
     
    The farm had a huge veggie patch, and this city girl thought that choosing and picking her own veggies was amazing.: by crustyadventures, Views[629]
         		 Fantastic 1 hour loop walk out of Lake Catani campground takes you through this narrow rock crack, complete with a few small holds and ladders. Excellent fun and still easy enough to get the 5 yr old to do it: by crustyadventures, Views[894]
         		 The red plastic
         		 Trying out my new gortex jacket too... love it!: by crustyadventures, Views[450]
         		 Evie in the backpack on one of the short walks we did out of the campsite. : by crustyadventures, Views[441]
     
    PJ's in the rain - just the ratherest look for 5 year olds these days.: by crustyadventures, Views[454]

         		 Love the subtle greys on the bark of these gum trees. wish I could have one in my living room ;-): by crustyadventures, Views[464]
         		 The lake at the campground. Incredibly beautiful alpine scenery (and weather!)... hard to imagine swimming here though. Brrrr.: by crustyadventures, Views[407]
