Lunch and a puzzle

By popular demand, I have now included the photos. Most of this was a copy and paste of my notes as I looked at each photo, and I didn't intend to include the photos, as my friend has the photos to refer to. But here they are now.

I had lunch with Wombat in town yesterday. It was a such a nice catch up with someone who I have a long history with, maybe thirty years. 

She had three photos with her that she couldn't remember when and where. Here is a paste of what I could work out from the photos.

Photo 1.

First Domain Interchange opened 1986.

Interchange doesn't look new. W class trams dominate but 1 Z class at interchange siding to make a return journey to West Coburg.

The tree leaves look very fresh and full, so I suggest the season is spring.

It's been raining and there is significant flooding on the inbound service road. I don't recall water pooling there.

BP House doesn't seem to have been converted to The Domain. The conversion was completed in 1995.

I suggest the photo was taken in 1993, or maybe 1994.

Photo 2.

The trees appear the same and the roadway and dome of the synagogue is wet. Photo taken on the same day. A Z class tram is visible in St Kilda Road.

I can't see anything useful in this photo.

Photo 3.

The dominant Australian Unity building was in Albert Road. I can remember seeing it from Kingsway, especially when we used to go to the long gone Palmerston Hotel. I'd be outside in the beer garden taking in some fresh air and looking up at the building.

I conclude in spring about 1994 you were in a high rise building in St Kilda Road between Park Street and Dorcas Street, with unobscured views to the east, south and south west, and there had been heavy rain. You were about 29 years old. Channel 7 studios were in Dorcas Street and it was perhaps the tallest building in the area at the time.  Lol, were you on tv? In the audience for a game show? 

But no. That doesn't add up. I can't remember the tall buildings now at that location, but it clearly was tall.
