Get a glimpse of Melbourne’s underground with these rare photos showing our city’s geology. These photos were taken during roadheader excavation of the new State Library and Town Hall stations in the CBD. The intricate rock formations show varied grades of Melbourne Formation.

“These low-traffic streets could be part of a network of ‘Quiet Streets’ making it easy to move around #NewYork. When we start going back to work, we’ll have a precedent for walking & cycling routes separated from the most congested & dangerous streets.” nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/03/…

Lots of people jaywalking and riding dangerously in this video. The Netherlands must be a very dangerous place.

Looks like I'm on the bus (association)! I don't support expansion of the free tram network. Travel times on trams have increased 5-7%, overcrowding increased, less $$ for PT investment & it encourages short trips over walking. Love to hear your thoughts?

Did you know our street lights, buildings and BBQs are all powered by 100% renewable energy? We’re proud to announce that we’re now helping a new group of Melbourne’s most prominent universities and businesses to take bold action on climate change by doing the same.

Hey @MPavilion all that is missing are the fuel pumps. Not much creativity went into this one.
