This is a really big train station in Melbourne, that covers about two city blocks. Flinders Street Station as we know it opened in 1910 but there has been a train station here since 1854. On weekdays around 110,000 people pass through here! It’s a very big old building and I like the green roof, it’s almost the colour of gum leaves. But, someone told me that it’s really made out of metal which has turned green in the weather.
Here is a picture of me standing under ‘the clocks’ (it’s a common Melbourne expression to say “Meet me at the clocks”).
Flinders Street Station is also just near the Little Bookroom’s Degraves Street store (how handy!).
The brilliant Oliver Jeffers is at it again with his latest title, Stuck, this week’s feature in our window. Let Floyd & his kite tribulations charm you to pieces in this bright fun picture book.
Hello, my name is Hush. I decided that it was time to leave the bush where I’ve (nearly) always been and see a bit more of what goes on in human cities. So, here I am in Melbourne. It’s seems that this Australian city is most famous for good coffee and bad weather. I’ve been here once before but, only for a quick stop so, I thought it would be a good idea to have a closer look.
