I think every city should do this. Kudos to the Melbourne government for arranging it. Over this weekend, several buildings around Melbourne will be open for visitation and not because there was some celebration like Raya. This is merely to introduce Melbourne I guess. We are talking about buildings that don't usually open to the public - so it is pretty awesome. Thanks to Nite for suggesting this as a good date outing. It was!
I suggested to Bits and he put together a list of nine buildings. Of course that is impossible. So we shortlisted to 4. Even then we only manage to see 2.5. Main reason was we only start our visitation at 1.00pm. There were queues on the good ones. The cream of the crop like Flinders Station or Melbourne Central, you can only go in with reservation which Nite told me was full within the first hour of registeration. I sure hope next year I can go see it. Anyway we end up visiting :-
These people recognize really early that picture and sound is a far more interesting way to spread the gospel rather than just preaching. And back in the days, they use colour plates + dialogue. All the plates were hand colored. Look how intricate it is. This photo is obviously enlarged. The actual size is just about the size of a coaster.
I think the overall tour was just about 1/2 hour. No luxury of leisure browsing as there are just too many people, not to mention we need to rush to the next location which was the sub station that we eventually had to miss.

- The Limelight Studio and Salvation Army Heritage Center
- Council House - CH2
- Townhall - actually I won't even consider this a tour. We spend a total of 15 minutes in it only
