Melbourne Daily Photo

Hello, I created this blog because Melbourne is my city and I want people to see what a beautiful place it is. So come with me on a journey of discovery as we traverse the dining precincts, the culture, the laneways and hidden gems that make Melbourne marvellous.

Theme Day ~ Pedestrians Crossing

 
Above: Best foot forward - Crossing over to Fed Square
While in the city one weekday morning, I spotted this group of school children led by their teacher, crossing the footpath and mounting the steps of Federatioon Square. In the background is the iconic Flinders Street Station. What I find most endearing is the girls' tunics - they haven't changed since I went to school. Good to see some things are "ageless."

Haha, the tunics sure haven't changed! None of them look particularly happy - maybe that school dazed expression hasn't changed either!!!

It's interesting that the school uniforms there haven't changed. The schools I have seen in the states and here in Saudi Arabia all pretty much have gone with khaki trousers and polo shirts for both boys and girls. Happy Theme Day!

The Flinders Street Station in the background makes this unmistakably Melbourne.
