Victorian Artists Society

#melbournetrip Excellent art exhibitions and openings. The range and quality of the art is compelling and they showcase paintings and drawings of a fairly wide variety of media and genres, including digital graphics, as well as sculptures and occasional installations. An inclusive and diverse atmosphere, this society has evolved over time and kept pace with technology. The team here have done a great job fundraising and Richard has taken up leadership with an excellent predecessor in Eileen. The heritage-listed gallery has in recent years undergone intensive restoration and upgrade with thanks to private, as well as public, funding. Staying true to the historical significance of the building whilst modernising it to greatly improve the amenities, it now includes a lift for greater access, mobility and inclusion of more diverse visitors. Dame Nellie Melba taught students singing here and oft stood on the balcony to perform to crowds who gathered on the footpath below. It is a pleasure to be part of this community and enjoy the works of both local and international artists, of which we can't help but be immensely proud of. The real sweetener at this gallery is no entry fee but becoming a member has its rewards not the least of which is being part of this community. Or you can donate to support the importance of art as a healing activity.

For meat lovers

A nice place with lots of options for meat lovers. The steak is cooked beautifully medium and seasoned well. Although I wish I had known the portion isn’t very big and upsized my order. They also offer a few selections of beer and wine. The burger is also a very safe choice for the less adventurous. I enjoyed the meal so much I returned the next day to try the Reuben and it was perfect. Not too dense, wonderfully seasoned and the bread was toasted to perfection. Also had the octopus & Chinese sausage skewer—not as tender as expected. Their cheeseburger was simply amazing; flavourful tender juicy patty, super crispy bacon, generous condiments. The fries and fried chicken were ok, not as spectacular as the cheeseburger. #australiatrip #burgers #steaks

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral - a Historic Site

Imagine Melbourne’s growth that this church has seen in more than 200 years! The building is iconic with the black bricks, rather similar to those churches in Dublin and some part of UK. Mass times stated below, but they are always open for visitors who just want to escape to the quiet spot away from the busy city, lit some candles and pray. Address - 1 Cathedral Pl, East Melbourne, Australia Mass Time: - Monday to Friday: 7am and 1pm - Saturday 8am and 6pm (Vigil Mass) - Sunday 8am, 9.30am, 11am and 6.30pm

Melbourne D4 citywalk

Melbourne D4 citywalk

Today, start from La Trobe Street, take Route 35 (every 12 minutes, clockwise, ends at 5pm, with maps on board, old-fashioned decor). Pass Flagstaff Gardens, Old Melbourne Gaol, Carlton Gardens (very beautiful, the building behind is the Exhibition Hall, and behind that is the Melbourne Museum), continue on Route 35 for 2 stops to Parliament Station, where there are free 45-minute guided tours on weekdays, limited to 25 people, you need to queue at the entrance in advance. Having just missed the 12pm tour, I continued on Route 35 for 2 stops to Flinders Street and got off at Federation Square (the tram passes Old Treasury Building and Treasury Gardens). Federation Square is right next to ACMI, which has exhibitions on light and shadow and the origins of film, worth a visit. Diagonally opposite is St Paul's Cathedral, and diagonally opposite that is Flinders Street Station. Due to time constraints, I took a quick tour of the cathedral and then headed back. I walked back to Parliament at 1:30pm, but still missed the 2pm tour, so I had to queue for the 3pm tour. Many people were taking wedding photos here. Security checks, passport registration, and bag storage start at 2:30pm. The front hall, the Parliament Chamber (one side represents the government, the other side the opposition), the rooftop Parliament Garden, the library (1861), the legal chamber, this nearly 1-hour tour is well worth it. Then take Route 109 to LUNE on Collins Street, card payment only, ordered an almond croissant, AUD 11.8, with almond syrup inside, quite delicious. Then walk to the NGV Australia next to Federation Square, the 2nd floor is Australian art, the 3rd floor is an exhibition of famous painters. A 5-minute walk takes you to Hoisier Lane graffiti street. Take Route 19 to Queen Victoria Market Station, this is the nearest free tram stop to the University of Melbourne, get off and continue walking 1 km, in about 10 minutes you will reach the University of Melbourne. Return to Flinders Street, have a steak, and wait for sunset. On Friday nights, there are concerts at Federation Square, very lively, from Princes Bridge you can see the Yarra River, on one side you can see the Australian Open venue, on the other side you can see Queen's Bridge, view Southbank, the night view is nice.
