202403-ivanhoe-1: A delightful sculpture of a goanna in the park near the home we're renting 
in Ivanhoe.

202404-tri-skeleton: Part of an exhibit that was running at the Melbourne Museum not long 
after we first arrived. As a big dinosaur fan I was in awe of this triceratops skeleton.

202405-dandenongs: These photos were taken in the Dandenong Ranges National Park in May, 
2024 about a forty-five minute drive from home. I hope to add more as we take more trips out 
that way

202406-mcg: I used to work at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It never ocurred to me when I 
lived in Melbourne previously to take photos of this incredible stadium. Photo 3 is of 
legendary spin bowler Shane Warne. The statue was built in his lifetime, but he sadly passed 
away in 2022. One of the best to ever play the game, his legacy will live forever.

202406-qvm: A shot on my phone of some of Melbourne's skyscrapers as viewed from the Queen 
Victoria Market. We ventured in on this particular day in June to attend the Portugese 
Festival.

202406-rbg: Only three of what could have potentially been hundreds of photos taken in the 
Royal Botanical Gardens. Again, I hope we return many more times to take even more photos. 
There's so much to see.

202406-skyline: My favourite skyline in the world. I take shots of it often from different 
areas around the city.

202406-southbank: Barely twenty minutes on the train in Ivanhoe and we'll be at Flinders 
Street. Then it's a short walk to Southbank and everything on offer there from views of the 
city, river ferry tours, and more bars and restaurants than one could count.
