Maryborough Railway Station

Not taken at an ideal time of day as much of the detail has been lost in the
shadow.

"Don't you overlook that Maryborough Station, if you take an interest in
government curiosities. Why, you can put the whole population of Maryborough
into it, and give them a sofa apiece, and have room for more." ~ Mark Twain,
during his 1895 tour of Australia.

"Maryborough Railway Station was constructed for the Victorian Railways in
1890-1892 by the contractor DA Swanston. The station building is a large,
primarily single storey, red brick building, with a monumental central
portico and offset tower, second storey addition and a cellar. It is
symmetrical in plan, with flanking pavilions featuring richly decorated
gable ends and a balustraded balcony above the entrance portico. The grand
booking lobby has a trussed timber ceiling tiled floor, iron gates and
ticket windows. The platform verandah incorporates a hipped roof, with
continuous louvred lantern along its ridge.

Maryborough Railway Station is historically significant as an intact and
important example of the peak of lavish expenditure on important railways
infrastructure built following the 'Octopus Act' in 1884.

Maryborough Railway Station is architecturally significant for its
distinctive design and scale. The platform verandah to the station building
is unique on a national level and incorporates a hipped roof with a
continuous louvred lantern along the ridge. The locomotive shed, while in
poor condition, is one of the few major remaining brick depots built during
the 'Speight era'."

I think I prefer the lower POV in this photo compared to the previous
upload, as it better highlights the roof-light.

"Coop's Shot Tower is located in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, Australia. It was completed in 1888 and is 50 metres high. The historic building was saved from demolition in 1973 and was incorporated into Melbourne Central complex in 1991 underneath an 84 m-high conical glass roof.

Coop's Shot Tower is 9 storeys high, and has 327 steps to the top. The tower produced six tonnes of shot weekly up until 1961, when the demand for the lead shot dwindled, because of new firearm regulations. The tower was operated by the Coops family, who also managed Clifton Hill Shot Tower.

Recently a museum called the Shot Tower Museum has been set up inside of the tower at the back of R.M. Williams, a tenant in the tower."

"The popular George Bass Coastal Walk is a cliff top walk that stretches from the outskirts of San Remo at Punchbowl Road, to the Bass Highway (just opposite the hall at Peppermint Road) in Kilcunda.

The walk is approximately seven kilometres long and takes an average of 2 hours to walk one way. The walk offers spectacular views of the coastline and follows the route of the explorer George Bass' epic voyage of discovery along the southern edge of the Anderson Peninsula, over 200 years ago."
