Continuing yesterday’s tour, just some of the many photos I took. I apologise that I don’t know how to place the photos on the page to my satisfaction. I hope you enjoy having a glimpse of our verdant city with its multiformity. The Plane trees have been injected this year with something to prevent the pollens in the air creating havoc with hay-fever; which works a treat.

1856/57 Number 56 Bourke Street was rented by Eugene Von Guerad, an artist who dominated Australian landscape painting during the late C19th.
Von Guerad was appointed as the first Master of Painting at the National School of Art, Melbourne, and curator of the National Gallery.

I love my visits to Melbourne. So much to do within walking distance but I do wonder if people actually have kitchens as restaurants are so full.

Don’t worry about it, Ba – NO-ONE is able to place multiple photos with the slightest accuracy (not unless you have one of those photo themes). These are absolutely fine, and confirm that fact that this tour must be absolutely terrific ! Goodonyer !
