Melbourne's Guildford Lane, and Krimper Café. Unfortunately, I was a bit late to get brunch (and a bit full after visiting the Queen Vic Markets), but the coffee was exceptional. Another great local suggestion by @timrichards@aus.social 😊

Melbourne Cricket Ground head curator Matt Page said Sunday he was in a "state of shock" after the two-day fourth Ashes Test, which has left Cricket Australia facing millions of dollars in revenue shortfall. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/12/29/more-sports/melbourne-cricket-ground-curator-shock/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #england #australia #melbourne #benstokes #stevesmith

Melbourne's first level platform tram 'superstop' was built on Collins Street at Swanston Street in 2001.
Unfortunately the south-west and north-west ends of the stop were not built with pedestrian crossings.
24 years later this has finally been fixed with this zebra crossing that gives priority to people crossing.

I regret to inform that even Cookie Monster has given into the relentless cultural pressure to monetise one’s passions
A very blue cafe with the sign Cookie Monster cafe Melbourne
A display cabinet of various sesame st themed cookies, mostly priced at $7 or $8
A display of assorted Sesame Street apparel and toys including a $110 hoodie
I don’t think anyone in #melbourne enjoyed today’s weather!
In some of these you can sort of see one of the Tawny Frogmouth’s special talents. Often when they’re sleeping or wish to be inconspicuous they hang out in a tree with bark that looks like their feathers and stretch themselves out to look like a broken branch. When their eyes are closed it can be very convincing!

Hey gardeners in Victoria (Oz), did you know that the EPA will test your soil for you, one time?
You can send three samples (from different parts of the garden) and they'll test them and let you know what's up with your soil, and whether you have dangerous contaminants, like lead.
I'm checking before I plant my food forest garden, so I can decide whether to use our soil or go with raised beds.

Anyone in Melbourne this Sunday (14/12) and wondering what to do, well let me help you!
There will be a display of vintage computers at the Computer Swap Meet hosted at the Springer's Sports Centre - 400 Cheltenham Road Keysborough 3173
It will be open to the public at 10am, I think it there is a $3 entry fee.
I'll be there with a couple of old computers, so say hi!

#melbourne folk: I think the event celebrating the signing of a treaty between Indigenous Victorians and the Victorian government will be really meaningful and the music lineup is wonderful. Tickets are free and I suspect will book out so maybe register now if you wanna go

Thanks to vigorous advocacy by the community, Bicycle Network, and bicycle user groups, the Victorian State Government has dropped their proposal to ban all e-bikes from public transport. Instead, only modified e-bikes will be banned. Great work everyone! this is a common sense outcome that addresses the real-but-small risk of fires, while not removing a really important part of our transport mix.

Had fun using a photo of the new State Library station for my current Lock Screen. Love that orange!
