Postcode 3051: North Melbourne
Woke up at 7am randomly this morning and started walking down to the pool to do some laps and remembered the North Melbourne pool doesn't open til 9am on a saturday (c*nts), so took a long walk to kill some time.

Students, medical Professionals, ex-convicts, Lithuanians, vagrants, actors, housing commission types and everything else in between.

North Melbourne's problem? There should be 10x the amount of people living in the same postcode.

Very nice! I wish we had more Australian city photos on the forum. The scale of the neighborhood reminds me a lot of Philadelphia.

Love the human scale and the mix between the older, ornate architecture and the newer, minimalistic ones!
