In the 1880s, Melbourne, capital of the Colony of Victoria was one of the richest cities in the world, its wealth based upon the great gold rush of the 1850s. Today much of that heritage remains in this great city, that I call home.

Beautiful buildings along Collins Street:
An interesting wall water feature and a cute dog bronze statue at City Square, Corner of Collins and Swanston Streets:
More great architecture:
