Sunday Selections

I am joining with Elephant's Child, River and others for Sunday Selections, with I hope photos of a random nature I haven't used before.

The gang above Priceline (pronounced Prickaleenie) where once was a hair salon.

D&G temporarily decorated a tram stop shelter.

Looking down on the slum across the road from my balcony. 

This was the strangest little exhibition in the Melbourne Town Hall Gallery. I really did not understand what it was about. The gallery is free, on the street and small, so it is easy just pop into when passing when a new exhibition opens. This is not the 'I love a sunburnt country', that I learnt. Rather sad making.

Now the exhibition is coming together.

I am understanding what it is all about.

No, I am lying. 

Life imitating art?

These springy rubbery things I guess are to prevent people walking along train tracks. 

Gorgeous feature wall of a nicely uplit old bluestone wall at the Oriental Teahouse.

In the recycling room. I wondered if it worked, but I have no need.

I expect this area near Dandenong Station is called Little India.

I think every shop was Indian related. Sadly Luckily for me the Indian sweet shops were closed on that public holiday.

 

Lonsdale Street, Dandenong is the main street of Dandenong, once the Princes Highway, the main road to the east of the state. I can't imagine the traffic through there if it still was route east. A freeway carries most of the traffic now. It's a long way to go for a sausage.

Scotch sausage! If that is the spicy sausage meat I am thinking of, it is delicious. I will have to return when the shop is open.

The area is very nicely done now and the impact of the busy Lonsdale Street car traffic is diminished. 

Dandenong is a very old market town on an important and only practical route to the Gippsland region, and although an hour plus by train from the city, its age does show in its grand town hall.
