Melbourne's modern bits

The previous post may have given the impression that nothing ever changes in Melbourne. Well that's not quite true.

Since I left the place four decades back they've stuck up lots of modern looking things, several rather tall buildings, and a roof above the old shot tower (to house a modern shopping centre).














They've also replaced most of their ancient trams with super duper new ones, and renovated several little old laneways into super-trendy nightlife haunts.





On the subject of trams again, Melbournians are so proud of their trams that they often forget that hundreds of cities around the world have excellent tramway systems. When young royals Harry and Megan dropped in the other week, Melbourne rewarded them with ........... wait for it ............. a ride on a tram!
