Now I can look forward to being looked upon by High Riser, exposed to some Adaptive Radiation and even accosted by an Evol Kween which is only fitting for a gay man from Sin City.
My hotel is more swish than I imagined and this is a section of the view from my 22nd floor room.
The Yarra River of which Melbournites are most proud. To the left of the river are the blue courts of Flinders Park where the Australian Open Tennis is played. Behind that is the bubbly roof of the quaintly named Rectangular Stadium where, as far as Sydneysiders are concerned, real football is played. To it's left are the light towers of the Melbourne Cricket Ground where an unreal but extremely popular local version of football is played. To the right of the river is, I believe, the stately building of Government House.
I'm having trouble keying in any more to this post so will publish it as is.
The Rectangular Stadium does have a proper name which is of course involves a commercial company. We locals who listen to ABC radio know it as the Not Round Ground. Speaking of the ABC, should you turn your radio on in the morning, you may be surprised to hear some dulcet tones from someone normally only heard in Sydney. Can you see the casino and the fire show on the hour at night time?
ReplyDeleteJust noticed that our apartment building is visible in the far left cluster.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I brought my digital radio with me and so am not at the mercy of the hotel's radio. I have tuned into local ABC on your advice. Didn't think of looking for the fire show, will check it out tonight if I remember.
ReplyDeleteMy office is in the brown buildings to the right of the Arts Centre spire in the bottom photo. In fact, if I look over my computer screen and out the window right now I suspect I'm looking at your hotel! See you for lunch soon :)
