Rare opportunity to see the side entry & walls of the former #NicholsonSt Cable Tram Engine House, on the corner of #GertrudeSt (1887, Alexander Davidson) - in nearly 20 years I don’t remember seeing the side gates open. As expected the side wall is spectacularly unspectacular.

Openwork’s rather lovely new corner of #GertrudeSt & #BrunswickSt for #YarraCityCouncil, with rocks forming seats distributed in groups across the site rather than in a single corner auditorium as the masterplan suggested.

Collage of elegant Deco brass cranes: two in a local shop window, the other at home, a remnant of my father’s childhood home

These two little cranes in a #GertrudeSt shop window are obviously relatives of my father’s brass crane, that for years stood holding a door open in Dwaleni, the Swaziland homestead he grew up in in the 1930s-40s.
