The overnight rail replacement coach, parked at a truck stop. It replaced the XPT overnight sleeper train from Melbourne to Sydney, due to track maintenance. Note "NSW Trainlink" is listed as the destination. #coach #bus #Sydney #Melbourne #Victoria #NSW #Australia

A large white coach with a door open and NSW Trainlink listed in orange as the destination. It is parked under a harsh yellow light on a concrete parking bay at a roadhouse (outside frame). The red reversing lights of trucks are visible in the distance snd reflected on the door.

When I visited Melbourne the week before the AFL Grand Final, the clocks at Flinders Street Station were lit up to show the two teams: The Fremantle Dockers and the Brisbane Lions. #AFL #Football #train #railway #TrainStation #Melbourne #Victoria #Australia

The main entrance to Melbourne's Flinders Street train station. It's a large Edwardian Baroque sandstone building with a green copper dome, and an arched entryway with clocks above it. Half is lit up purple for the Fremantle Dockers, and half in maroon for the Brisbane Lions, with images of players from each team on each side.

Melbourne's Swanston Street, Town Hall Square, and St Paul's Cathedral. #Melbourne #city #photography #Victoria #Australia

The sky is purple and light blue for sunset. The focus is Swanston Street, which is the main semi-pedestrianised north-south street through the Melbourne CBD. In the bottom-left foreground, two cyclists are riding through.

Swanston Street is lined with winter trees with no leaves and street lights. It has tram tracks with overhead wiring down the middle.

In the middle of the shot is the glass canopy for the new Town Hall Metro station, a modern hotel, and a neo Gothic sandstone cathedral called St Paul's.

Along the left border of the photo is the corner of Melbourne Town Hall.

One final Melbourne Docklands image. If you walk to the end, what do you see? This chain-link fence. #Melbourne #Docklands #Victoria #Australia #cities #urbex #city #photography

A black chain-link fence. On one side, a paved pedestrian path abruptly ends. On the other side is water and an industrial area.

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.

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

Some Adelaide laneways. Ade-lanes, if you will. (And yes, they're quiet, but this was on a weeknight.) #Urbanism #UrbanPlanning #Cities #streets #StreetPhotography #Photography #Adelaide #SouthAustralia #Australia

The Spheres (aka "The Malls Balls") by Bert Flugelman, this time at night. This four-metre tall sculpture sits in Rundle Mall, the main pedestrian street in Adelaide. #PublicArt #PublicSculpture #Adelaide #SouthAustralia #Australia

Rundle Mall at night, with the sculpture (which consists of two chrome balls stacked on top of each other) reflecting pink and blue light.

The Malls Balls in the distance. The statue dwarfs the passing pedestrians.

An iron arch in the stone wall around a local park that reads: Merrett Memorial.

A black marble plaque in a stone wall that reads in gold letters: 1927This gateway is erected to the memory of OGH Merrett "Ossie" by his friends and admirers. A good citizen and sportsman. Died 29 April 1923.

Inside the Parramatta Female Factory. A former forced labour facility for convicts, asylum, and foster care home/children's prison where half the residents were Aboriginal. It's as eerie as it looks. #Australia #Parramatta #NSW #building #buildings #photography #prison

Some more photos of the outside of the Parramatta Female Factory, this time the main courtyard. Along with being a convict forced labour facility, it was later used to house homeless and incarcerated girls, roughly half of whom were Aboriginal. #history #Australia #Parramatta #NSW

The Parramatta Female Factory was basically a forced labour facility in early colonial Australia. Convict women who were deported from Britain were forced to make cloth. Photos taken during Parramatta Open 2026. #Parramatta #History #Imperialism #Colonialism #NSW #Australia

The Parramatta Trial Courts was perhaps the most interesting building I saw at Parramatta Open. The jury room, court room, and holding cells were all open to the public. Unfortunately, there's a strict no photos rule inside... #photography #BuildingPhotography #Parramatta #Australia

A six-storey modern building. The left of the building is red, while the right is blue, with blue-tinted windows. It has a large metal panel nearly a floor high with the coat of arms of NSW engraved on it.

Next to George Salter's cottage is a second historic site that was open during Parramatta Open: The Parramatta Park groundskeeper's cottage. It's thankfully in much better shape, and has beautiful wallpaper on the top third of the wall. #Parramatta #NSW #Australia #building #history

Convict settler George Salter's cottage, in Parramatta Park. Built in 1796, and later used by Lachlan Macquarie as his dairy, it's one of Australia's oldest colonial buildings. Sadly, it's in a horrible state of repair. #building #buildings #architecture #parramatta #NSW #Australia

This weekend, there was a charity rubber duck race in Parramatta. For a small fee, you could buy a rubber duck, which kids could decorate. All the ducks were tossed in the river, and if yours floated the furthest, you won a prize. #parramatta #australia #duck #ducks #bird #birds

During Parramatta Open, they opened up the tallest building in the Parra CBD, 6 & 8 Parramatta Square, aka the Deloitte Building. While the views from the top are spectacular (see my last posts), the building itself... well, you can see their consulting fees in action 😂 #building #Parramatta
