Jazzy I count 5 instruments, including the reflected drums (not including i-Pad)

Jeep Am hoping for a better one

Kookaburra* Carved in the Fairy Tree, Fitzroy Gardens

Neon Sign

Outdoor Dining On a cold Melbourne day of 53 F, lunchtime.

Patisserie*

People in Uniform at Work** It takes 3 police to issue an infringement notice to the driver (Melbourne Tram/Streetcar in the back)

Pet in Clothing* Honey and I met for a one-shot stand. Sadly, all I got was her name, no phone number.

Quaint A model Tudor village in Fitzroy Gardens donated from a village in England to thank Melbournians for their support of food and blankets during WWII. Previously mentioned Fairy Tree in the background (I can post a close-up if anyone is interested).

Quote on Plaque* Peace to the Unconquered (I must have looked at 50 plaques before I found one with a quote on it. I can rest easy now.)

Round The roof shapes on our new Rectangular Stadium (25,000 capacity)

Starbucks Item Money had to change hands for me to get this shot!

Undercarriage Carriage, horse drawn, undercarriage. Melbourne tram moving in background, 0.8sec exposure.

Victorian* Victorian architecture in Victoria is not the typical folk and shingle style found in the US. This is a shot of the Rialto Building, which is Free Gothic (Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_architecture)

Weathervane I had no idea that the Rialto Building sported a weathervane till I took a shot of it on Thursday. But then, I only worked in the high rise building behind it for 5 years!

A couple more:

Eagle:

(This is one I didn't think I would get easily!)
This plaque gives the explanation:

Dugout:

(Yes, I'm afraid this is the best we can do here!!! As PrincessinOz has said we don't do baseball here. This very small baseball field is only used about twice a year as you can tell by the rust on the sink!!!)

Obsolete:

(A knife cleaner??? )

Historical ingenuity or invention:

(A washing mangle - thank goodness we have advanced since then!!)

History/historical:

(This is Newstead House, now a museum, built in 1846 for pastoralist Patrick Leslie. It sits on a bend of the Brisbane River with views up and down the river. Most of the pictures in my last couple of posts are from here. There is a website with lots more information www.newsteadhouse.com.au )

PrincessInOz thank you for paving the way for the Australian contingent...I'm eagerly awaiting the answer to this question to see if I should be stalking the Australia post vans!

Thank you for posting a photo of the MCG, an awesome venue! Will post one of the SCG shortly (got to get there first), the Sydney equivalent.

It was so cold and bleak today. Went to the harbour front to try to take some photos but they all just lacked the Harbour's usual colour and vibrancy. So I will go back when its sunny and repost the photos of the Harbour, bridge and Opera House in all its glory.

Empty* Unusual for the Harbour - normally a hub of activity with tourists, ferries and sailboats.

Historical* The Sydney Harbour Bridge - A Sydney icon, the tallest steel arch bridge in the world and until recently the world's widest long span bridge with 8 traffic lanes, 2 rail lines as well as a pedestrian lane. Before it was built, travel from the North of the Harbour was by steam ferry or via a long route inland.

Famous landmark* The Sydney Opera House

Monument* This is the Berlin Wall Monument at the Reagan Presidential Library.
