It was a cloudy and mild day, which was good for walking. Nine of us briefly toured some of the lesser known museums and galleries in the CBD.
We visited the Rialto and saw the old hydraulic (water powered) cranes and stopped briefly at heritage dunnies on Flinders Lane!
The ceilings at the ANZ Gothic Bank museum were a particular delight as was the massive dome at the former Commercial Bank of Australia chamber in Collins St.
The City Library had an amazing photo display and the Koorie Heritage Trust art prize exhibition was also an eye opener. Finally, we saw the City Gallery in town hall and the wonderful Shot Tower museum in Melbourne Central.
…and then of course the mandatory coffee stop to recuperate and compare notes at Mr Tulk in the State Library.
