    Dear Iris, this sounds like a wonderful place to visit. It reminds me of Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver, Canada. Lovely. ❤

      Hi Wendy, I know you would enjoy and fit in here… your artistic talents and love for the arts too! Yes, it’s wonderful to have this beautifully converted former Meat Market into this bustling cultural centre right on the city’s fringe in Melbourne. Your Public Market in Vancouver sounds great and lovely to visit also! The island must be very popular to tourists and locals alike. I do appreciate your sharing and for your time here, Wendy. ❤ Thank you for the interest and welcome to Melbourne even if it’s virtual… my friend. Much love, Iris 🐨 🎨 🎶 🌲 🌷

      Hi Sarah, delighted to have your company here! 🐨 😃 It’s all very exciting at this creative centre… I would say the music concerts by the students of the Melbourne Conservatorium would be most appealing to me. 🎶 🎻 They give of their time and share their talents in these recitals here … really thrilling and wonderful to listen to! 👌 🎺 Thanks for your thoughts on this and I am sure you’ll enjoy browsing around this place… perhaps take some time to do a few sketches? 😉 🎨

        The music concerts would draw me too especially when they are played by students. There´s every summer an event here called Young Euro Classics when young students from all over Europe travel to Berlin to give concerts. They´re always wonderful and a real joy. 🙂 Have a very lovely day, Iris! 🙂 💕🎼

          It’s interesting to read that these students get to share their music when they give recitals there in Berlin. An excellent event, Sarah. Good to know what’s happening in Europe! You too, have a great week… 😃 🌹 ❤
