Elizabeth Street last night about 6:30. Pedestrians with their umbrellas at the ready. A gap in the rain, but still threatening. Taxis lined up outside Melbourne Central offering a comfortable but pricey way home. Hopefully winter’s last gasp.
(Remember that Del Amitri song… “every third car is a cab”. Thankfully things aren’t quite so bleak in this city.)

That Del Amitiri album is a great one. Think it needs another spin on my CD player.
‘salright for you, over here in the UK winter is just getting it’s teeth in (sulk) wish I was back in Australia.
Winter’s last gasp? I thought it rained year-round in Victoria? ;)
57 tram!!! Meeeeeemmmmmmorieeeeeeees… Ahem. Yes. Wet. I was home by 4.57pm before the rain came. I had more problems with the wind. Sheesh.
Winters last gasp? You really should move to QLD like the rest of your statesmen. 34C today!
it’s like the mothership is calling me. man, i miss melbourne!
Nice pic.
Thirty four degrees sounds hellish. Thank god for cool gouts of wind, thunder, the unsteady ripple of leaves in the rain, and other signs that nature is drumming itself sharply awake.
