A very Melbourne experience

A Saturday meander through streets in a southern quarter of Collingwood. As always, ensure you eat first and have a good coffee. A visit to Falco Bakery on Langridge St; good coffee, pastries and a loaf of bread for later. Life is good!

coffee first while pondering the future and the past

 

a palm tree looking as though it once was required — but now not so much

 

loads of new apartments scattered about in laneways

 

a little blue art work; plus stupid graffiti vandalism

 

the site of an old brewery; there were many breweries in Collingwood

 

many laneways and many apartments

 

‘somewhere’ to live…

 

love those bricks

window views

 

an auction — and by the sound of it, the reserve price was not met

A reminder to rest and take it easy whenever the temperature is right.

 

meandering…

 

art in a window

 

the devil is in the detail

 

time to buy that new car?

 

a pub with that decayed aesthetic

loads of beautiful buildings; many design firms have an office in Collingwood.

 

A place to pose for a picture — an office front door on a quiet Saturday afternoon.

In another life, this part of Collingwood could have been a good choice to live for a while.

We will return for another meander through another quarter of Collingwood one day soon.

All part of our enjoyment of living in and roaming about Melbourne. Fun!!
