Melbourne buildings

28/8/2013

 
Such a diversity of building styles to enjoy...at last I found my way to the Abbotsford Convent, in Abbotsford on the banks of the Yarra river. The formal gardens and the buildings are of national heritage significance due to their historic, landscape and architectural values. I would love to come back on a Sunday and take the guided tour to learn more about the Sisters of the Good Shepherd , who for over a century provided shelter, food and work for thousands of vulnerable and poor women and girls.  
The blossom has welcomed in spring!  I enjoy the filigree on the Victorian cottage houses, and spied a sign that might indicate that the owners are from New Zealand... Haere mai  is the Maori word for Welcome!
The bare trees are majestic, I have enjoyed noticing the different forms wherever I have been, wonderful matured trees that are well cared for.
