Nice to see such a great rendition. It echos the essence France…or perhaps old Quebec… Strange that it exists so near to the heart of Melbourne.

Great spot isn’t it. It’s a shame the advertising agents doctored it though – it will be great when it is all restored such history in the place. Have you taken any photos of the old oak tree – I used to spend my Uni lunches under it!
Roz McQuillan replied
It’s a wonderful place, I agree. I do an artist’s market there once a month, and I always admire that tree, but have never photographed it, though I have often thought about it!
