More Pix from OZ

One of the first things needing to be done was banking, cell phone getting, shopping.  From here on Dorcas st. head over to the Clarendon shopping area of S. Melbourne.  There's a huge variety of shops, major Super Markets, all kinds of restaurants and delis.  Lots of Banks, churches, public services.  And, the South Melbourne Market, a vibrant treasure of a public market.  So here are a few of things seen on the way......


Crooks beware!  Don't prowl except these 4 hours!Weddings.  Lots of weddings each weekend.  The Rolls are ready at this Orthodox church.


This Anglican church is dated 1857

The South Melbourne Market is kinda like the Pike Place Market.

Delis!  Greek, Italian, Turkish, Polish......




Oysters! $1/ea

There is a shrine here on the counter.


The inside market  has fruit and veges too.

You get your Oysters shucked on the spot, then take the tray over to the opposite counter to slurp the briny goodness

These Morton Bay Bugs look like some pre-cambrian trilobite thingy.  They're good though, a kind of lobster.

These lobsters are "Crayfish" locally


This area is only ~13mins by walking.  Lots of ways of making some fun out of things you have to do anyway, like shopping for necessities, eating, socializing.  There are several galleries and even music venues to nourish the soul.
