We didn't have nearly enough time to look around at the amazing variety of architecture and public art in Melbourne. Our drive across town to the airport showed we'd need at least a week to take a really good look. Melbourne seems to have artworks on every street corner and many of the buildings are artworks in themselves. The styles are very diverse ranging from the old fashioned Flinders Street Station (below) to the crazy jagged patterns found around Federation Square (above).
Many of the buildings have cut-outs, holes and huge windows so you can see the architecture beyond.
The overhead tram wires dissect the view even more.
The old (like the Royal Exhibition Building below) sits against the new. Every opportunity seems to have been taken to make the architecture as crazy and eye catching as possible.
That's it for my trip to Melbourne. I'd love to come back another day for a longer look around.
