A book lover's heaven - Borders!
Flemington, where I live.
Entrance to Flemington Racecourse, a major horse racing venue. It is most notable for hosting the Melbourne Cup, which is Australia's richest horse race. The course has a crowd capacity of over 120,000 and contains three grandstands.
Another pic of the racecourse.
I live in the beige building right above the text "I live here". Looks like it might be a skyscraper but that's just buildings in the city, further away.
A bronze statue of famous Australian racehorse Phar Lap, outside one of the entrances to the racecoarse.
A lot of wires since I'm standing by the train tracks but I just wanted to illustrate how close I am to the city.
Me trying to be artistic. The composition of the photo turned out to be all wrong though.
Plumbing gone bad?! I wonder what Bo would say about this. :)
(2009-05-09) The 57 tram that goes between West Maribyrnong and the City via Flemington and North Melbourne. All trams look the same though.
Safeway, the grocery store closest to me.
Me on Southbank Promenade, one of Melbourne’s most popular dining precincts, with its riverside setting and fantastic views of the city skyline. Melbourne Aquarium on the other side of the Yarra River.

Overlooking the CBD from the Southbank Prom.

My first footy game Geelong Cats vs Western Bulldogs at Ethiad Stadium. Geelong won with 116 against Bulldog's 114.
44 620 people in the audience.
Brekky in Williamstown and then a walk along the Gem Pier. The city can be spotted behind the sail boats...the view is not great though due to the fog.
Wiliamstown
Part of the gang: Ashish, Terry, me and Julia. (Julie is the photographer).

More boats in Williamstown.
Williamstown
We went for a drink at a local restaurant called Banque. A nice modern place with really cool light fittings!
A close up of the fitting. I love the contrast between the old and the modern.
Belinda and I at Peter Alexander. Got myself a nice pair of PJ pants.

My delicious Chocolate Mousse Delight at Brunetti's at Lygon Street.
Me and Rose.

Hard to take photos without getting reflections so I thought I might as well play with it :P
