This is a continuation of my walk in St Kilda. We are now in Acland Street, a vibrant and foodie area.
From the Pier, we walked past the Palais Theatre and Luna Park.
… then passed by the Australian Bicentennial Project which was created in 1988 to celebrate 200 years since the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788.
Beside it stands a towering palm tree, its trunk stretching endlessly toward the sky with a metal bench wrapped around its base.
There’s something oddly satisfying about walking past utility doors, each uniquely designed.
Walking past the tram, vibrant shops, a lone scooter, and a woman with brightly coloured hair feeding the pigeons.
Inviting chairs sit empty, overshadowed by the lively, bustling restaurants nearby—a quiet contrast to the crowd.
The added splashes of bright colour to these doors make it all the more inviting.
But first… lunch at Chinta Ria Malaysian Restaurant before heading home.
Acland Street is famous for its mouth-watering cakes and pastries, so I couldn’t leave without at least a tiny taste of blueberry tart and a sip of coffee.
I am linking this to Jo’s Monday Walk, Dan’s Thursday Doors Challenge, Natalie’s Photographing Public Art Challenge, and Xingfumama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge
It’s a rhapsody in colour, isn’t it, Teresa? Love the utilities and the tables in that cafe, and the lady with the crazy hair! Thanks so much for brightening up my morning.
Glad you liked the colours. Sometimes it doesn’t take much to make our day brighter.
That’s very true! Have a lovely weekend, Teresa!
And to you too, Jo!
And the tart! I almost forgot…. xx
Haha
Such a colourful walk!
It is always what attracts me to it. Thanks Margaret.
Wonderful splash of colour. You know your painted utility boxes are never wasted on me!
Haha we love the same thing scooj 👍
Beautiful colors!

Thanks for this. Staying at St Kilda for the Grandprix. I will check out a few of these ☺️
Enjoy the Grand Prix. I bet you will see a lot of these places.
I love the colorful photos, Teresa, and the variety. You have a little bit of everything, including some mouth watering food. I love the utility boxes and the woman with the hair that blends in so well with the rainbows around her.
Thanks Dan. I always love colourful surroundings. It makes me happy.
Along with all vibrant colours, that is quite the profile/facade! 🙂
What a fun walk, Teresa. I love the colourful utility boxes and the tall palm trees. The food, coffee and dessert look yummy, too. Thank you for your public art share.
Beautiful, colorful images. I want some of that coffee and cake!
Next time. When you come Downunder.
Looks like you had a wonderful day.
I did, thanks Mama.
I love this, there’s so much colour everywhere. Thanks for brightening up a very dull grey day 😊
