And with that, I have returned!  With a bit of luck, it will be for a while too.

The above image is of (part of) the beautiful Hotel Shamrock in Bendigo.  The architecture of this building is exquisite, right down the the coloured tiles beneath the window sills.  It’s great to see a country town maintaining a pub like this and not to see it adorned with garish large modern billboard advertising for mid strength beers.

Another taste of the Bendigo streetscape.
Alas I’m going to be sans intertrons for the next week and a bit as I take a bit of a break.  I’ll be back to continue the post a day quest from the first week in May.

A recent trip to Bendigo afforded the opportunity to wander the streets, albeit briefly, and marvel at some of the majestic gold rush period architecture.  The town hall, hidden back from the main street, is indeed one.
