LOL Actually I prefer gardens be let to grow wild and free but Govt House is very colonial in the English way so manicured everyhting is to be expected. The arcade is called the Queen Victoria Building. A superb example of Victorian architecture now fully restored. It's like walking through a museum while shopping. Glad you like the music, "buddy" lol, I think it works well with the images. :)

Thoroughly enjoyed, Saint. You know I could soak it all up all day long (the Queen'll never get an invite to my overgrown garden tho lol). What a rich step back in your history, thank you. What is the arcade building? Oh, and ze orange bottle-cap female sculpture noted at an appropriate musical point...very quirky playful 'Aussie' sounds there, mate :)

no I've never been, but I should, it's just pure laziness on my part ..

Now I payed you a compliment. I watched a few Australien TV shows lately and I didn't understand very well.
Anyway, I'm always impressed by the diversity of your continent; it's an interesting and amazing mosaic of different land forms. And so big!

Thx, Marissa, glad you liked it. I'm posting part 2 shortly. I did a tour of Hyde Park Barracks where convicts were imprisoned back in the early colonial years. Plenty of interesting artifacts like whips, ball and chain, padded cells etc etc.A sadist's delight...lol. :)

Thx. The qualiy was better until I converted it to divX format to save space. YT needs to increase the file upload size to 200 mb, imo. If LV can do it...
