Photo of a curved, wood-and-metal, pedestrian and cyclist bridge that runs along the length of an urban river. The walkway and cycle path along the river have been interrupted by a road bridge that spans the river. This pedestrian and cyclist bridge connects these interrupted paths via a curved section that goes below the road bridge.

I love the Jim Stynes Bridge that connects the path along the Yarra River in #Melbourne that was blocked by the construction of the Charles Grimes Bridge. Now a short curve onto the river itself lets you run, walk, ride, or cycle along the river uninterrupted.

Extremely wide-angle black-and-white photo of thousand of visitors walking out a massive road tunnel while, on the left, an equally large number of people are walking in.

Throwback to West Gate Tunnel Open Day in #Melbourne when we got to walk through the newly-built underground tunnel before it opened to motorists.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Wide-angle photo of playground equipment in a local park. The equipment consists of poles, bars, and ladders made out of metal with ropes and handles tied all around them, making for a challenging traverse across to the other side.

Modern jungle gyms – and public playgrounds, in general – are so much cooler than they were when we were kids in the 1980s! I'm very happy for the kids of today. (FYI, the structure shown in the photo is called rope gym.)

Photo of a triangular, bare metal mailbox outside a house. The mailbox looks like a creature's head, complete with holes for eyes and the mail slot as its mouth.

Grumpy arrow "head" mailbox and newspaper slot.

Black-and-white photo looking down at a bank of escalators leading to an underground train station. The escalators are empty, but the legs of one traveller are visible in the top-right corner of the photo.

Escalators that take you down to the newly-built Town Hall Station in #Melbourne.

No one has ever tried to sell me drugs as hard as people try to sell me on AI.

Lines of academy cadets, one in command red seated but at attention while in a wheelchair.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I didn't know if @marthawells.com knew about this Easter egg that Alexander Skarsgård snuck into the #murderbot TV series!

Photo of a camera operator holding his camera on a self-stabilising gimbal at knee height as he shoots his video. This photo is taken through the gap between the pillars of a stone banister.

Black-and-white photo of the sidewalk at a tram stop. Graffiti written in chalk on the wall of this sidewalk reads, "Free Palestine".

Photo of a woman smiling while marching at Melbourne Pride March 2026. The woman is wearing a blue RACV t-shirt and rainbow earrings.

The Midsumma Festival in #Melbourne is over for another year, but here's a look back at some sparkly dresses and rainbow earrings from the RACV contingent at Pride March a couple of weeks ago.

Photo of a railway viaduct built across a creek's valley and flood plain. The viaduct comprises steel girders supported by steel-framed towers.

Photo through the shop window of a stack of paper coffee cups stacked neatly next to a coffee machine in a cafe. The 'Five Points' wordmark is stamped on each coffee cup.

After-hours at Five Points Cafe on Little Collins Street in #Melbourne.

Photo of the front of a C-17A Globemaster III military transport aircraft on the runway at an airshow. In the foreground of the photo there are hundreds of airshow attendees watching, photographing, and filming this aircraft.

Throwback to this C-17A Globemaster III on the runway at Avalon Airshow 2025.

Photo of some metal-and-wood outdoor furniture that almost looks like a still-life painting. The photo shows a tall, narrow, black table with two tall, dark-green chairs arranged on either side of it.

athlete: so if triathlon is running, biking and swimming, that must mean biathlon is running and biking?

coach: [taking out skis and a gun] haha yeah you’d think so

Zoomed-in photo of a man wearing rainbow coloured sneakers and rainbow coloured socks with an outline of the Eiffel Tower on them. The man is standing in a grassy field alongside other people and a black-and-white dog.

From #Paris to #Melbourne at Melbourne Pride March 2026.

Giggling while turning a terrible idea into a complete mess - specially with friends - is a joy everyone should get to experience. There are some absolutely inane turns of phrase that live rent free in my head thanks to such adventures that I can never utter out loud and I love them.

Photo of a white Ford sedan parked on the side of a narrow city road in Melbourne, Australia that will eventually become a film set. An orange crane with cinema lights mounted on top of it is parked behind this car. There are lights on top of this car that identify it as an American police vehicle. Blue stickers pasted on the car read, “NYPD Police”.

I don’t know which movie is being filmed here on Little Collins Street in the CBD, but I do know what city #Melbourne, Australia is standing in for today :)
