the great australian bite

So I don't think I've mentioned that lately I've been watching Ryan, the Rod Mullinar private detective show which also has Pamela Stephenson in it. I'll tell you more about it sometime. But right now I just want to fill you in on an episode (Episode 21) I've been looking at in which a lot of the action centres around a locale about two minutes' walk from where I live, notably at a restaurant called The Great Australian Bite. It was on the corner of Molesworth St and, I guess, Harker St (though that corner seems to be exactly the spot where Harker becomes Curzon). 
Molesworth, looking south. 
Looking down Curzon. 
I think this is the interior of the Great Australian Bite, but maybe not. It's surely not a set. 
The actual establishment. Sometime soon I'll show you what it looks like today. 
Cornelia Frances in Harker st
And the flats across the street. So that's about it. Oh, except here's an ad.
