Melburnians: Is your town hall getting lit up with light art a regular thing, or was I just lucky to pass on the right day? Either way, it looks amazing. #Melbourne #Victoria #Australia #photography #lightart #art #buildings #architecture
Melbourne Town Hall lit up in blue and teal, with orange and yellow sunflowers in a light art show.And Melbourne Town Halas it usually looks in the early evening. It's a neoclassical Gothic stone building with columns above the front entrance and a clock tower on the right.

Adelaide's famous cricket and (AFL) football stadium, the Adelaide Oval, at night. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a look inside. The pretty lights are just another Thursday night in Adelaide. #Adelaide #AdelaideOval #SouthAustralia #Australia #stadium #buildings #architecture
The Adelaide Oval at night, across the Torrens River from the CBD. The light bridge is lit up in blue in the foreground, while the white stadium is lit up teal. The lights are reflected in the river.Walking down the street past the Adelaide Oval. The wavy white roof is lit up teal, and a light tower is also visible.The main entrance, as seen from a side angle.Front view of the stadium entrance.

Adelaide Town Hall at night. #Adelaide #Building #Buildings #architecture #cities #SouthAustralia #Australia
A large neoclassical stone building, featuring a clock tower spire with an illuminated clock and a dome on top. It is lit up with golden yellow light, which is reflected in the tree branches across the street.Slightly off-centre view of the building.

There's a lot I like about Adelaide. But. When Brisbane called a bus a "metro", it at least had the decency to make it look like a tram... #bus #Adelaide #transit #busphoto #busphotos #SouthAustralia #australia

I first heard it when I had just spent an extremely boring Thursday night in Adelaide… Apart from the bit where I nearly got locked in for the whole of Easter in an oldfellows hall (a site of the fringe festival) because of the SA police stopping all drinking before Good Friday kicked in at 12am. 🤷‍♀️

Andrew is spot on. Labor's general inaction on building Accessible tram stops is disgraceful, but choosing to actively rebuild stops to not comply with Accessibility standards is a real kick in the teeth. Everyone should be able to get around independently on PT. Shame on Labor.
Screenshot from an Age article by Gemma Grant from September 5, 2026. 
Headline reads "'A real kick in the teeth': Dozens of tram stops have been upgraded, but wheelchair users still can't board"
Photo shows Andrew Bretherton sitting in a wheelchair on the tram tracks at a ground-level tram stop in the middle of a North Melbourne street.
