Joanna HolmanThe Outsiders gallery at Hosier Lane <a href="https://aus.social/tags/melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#melbourne</a> which focuses on street and urban art styles was already amazing (they have a whole room of Banksy works!) and just got better. They just added an installation piece by Rone imagining Hosier Lane’s history as a garment district. I can’t do justice to the finer details in photos. It’s really incredible that the collectors who own the featured works decided to make the gallery free entry.

Philip Mallis 🇺🇦Something I learned last week at the Balwyn Historical Society was the purpose of these corrugated iron balconies that jut out from the rear of the Rialto Building on Flinders Lane.These were actually toilets. It was an innovation at the time to provide them for each level in this way and they have been preserved through the site's redevelopments. Not sure if they're still used though.Architect William Pitt designed this and many other buildings throughout Melbourne and are well worth a look, including the Princess Theatre, Foy & Gibson and Bryant & May.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Melbourne</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AustralianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianHistory</a>

agnusbeefBack in the day, Victorian Railways operated holidays for Victorians with *direct trains* to the Mt Buffalo Chalet. Crazy because everyone just drives to Mt Hotham / the snowfields now and the drive is 4.5 hrs long & the price made holidays more egalitarian for Australians. Its hard to believe any state government would repeat this ever again (ie. operate railways to tourist areas).<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Buffalo_Chalet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Buffalo_Chalet</a><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/metrotrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metrotrain</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#melbourne</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#australia</a>

Daniel Bowen🐝Why do 5 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Melbourne</a> trams have a bee logo? Because back in 2008 during a patronage surge, the government leased 5 surplus trams from Mulhouse in France. They were shipped over and put into service in their original yellow livery, for which they were nicknamed “Bumblebees”.
