I usually only travel into the heart of Melbourne a couple of times a year.
On this day, for the first time, I saw the amazing architectural delight of Melbourne Central.
The old tower has been preserved and a huge skydome and stylish shopping complex have been built around it - all above Melbourne Central railway station.
The 9 storey tower is Coop's Shot Tower - built in 1888 - and now houses a museum.
Sweet discovery
Old tower lit with new style
Worlds smile together
