Marvelous Melbourne

A typical busy laneway scene in Melbourne. The laneways are basically little alleyways built perpendicular to the main cross streets. Melbourne's city blocks are huge, and are divided in half already by the “little” streets, which are not quite laneways, they allow for traffic, but are not as big as main streets. So there is Collins Street and Little Collins St, Bourke St. and Little Bourke St., and so on. Then the laneways join each of those streets together in a random, twisting, haphazard and thoroughly adventuresome manner.
