the lyric theatre, yarraville


This building intrigued me last night and I now know it was Stephen Street's Lyric Theatre until 1982 and is of course now apartments. Stephen Street produced most of The Smiths' hits. In more relevant news, I don't know whether the person who lost their teeth in March 1918 after a great foray into moviegoing did so at the Lyric Yarraville or one of the other Lyric theatres. Also what was the reward?

perry and i walked to yarraville to sun books to buy a copy of robert forster's novel













These pictures are completely out of sequence except the last one. Keeps it interesting


6 am walk

Possibly the images below of the football oval convey why for a moment I thought some screens had been erected in the middle of the ground. I mean it was my bad eyes as well. 

The Darwin Institute of Trade is a remarkable institution established 2025 and they rarely leave the lights on all night so it felt like a lucky day.

thing

 

Slightly scary thing seen behind the flats over the road. I don't know what it is. This picture does it no justice. I think it is in the ground and it was reflective, but looked lit up. Makes no sense at all.
