Domain Street

 One of the activities I particularly enjoy in Melbourne is just to walk along a street in one of the nice old inner suburbs. We walked along Domain St on the way to my sister's place.

We took a tram to the Shrine of Remembrance (top left) and continued along the road which marks the boundary of the Botanic Gardens and then along Domain St. 

The Shrine of Remembrance. It was built to honour the fallen in WWI but has since honoured the fallen in all wars where Australian soldiers have participated.

To the right, you see a curved building between two taller buildings. It used to be known as the BP building and I worked there in 1975-76. At the time it had fabulous views over Port Philip Bay, but new tall buildings have blocked the view. 

It's winter here.

Latrobe's cottage. Latrobe was the first Governor of Victoria and this house was prefabricated in England and shipped to Australia.

The entrance.

Part of the garden.

A beautiful winter's afternoon.

Now we started walking down Domain St. Enjoy the colours highlighted by the afternoon sun.

Coriole is a winery in the McClaren region of South Australia.

Lemon trees are popular.

Faulkner Park. The building 2nd from the right is where my sister lives. I used to walk across this park when I worked at BP and it was the best commute ever.
