Blue Ribbon Foundation

The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation was established in 1998 (merging several existing groups).
It perpetuates the memory of police killed in the line of duty.
There are 16 branches across Victoria, with the base at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.
A branch on my Mornington Peninsula is quite new - established 2011.
It is at Frankston Heights.

Lots of Stuff

I was sitting in the car at Moorabbin, waiting for hubby, so thought I would amuse myself by taking a few photos of nearby signs.
This sign was OK, but didn't seem particularly exciting.
I guess the use of the "$" sign was kinda creative, so I clicked the photo.
Still viewing through the lens, I moved the camera a little
and saw...


this sign.
It was by the turn from the carpark shopping centre to the road running by the shop in the first photo..
I chuckled.
A great play on words and a great "connection" with the shop sign.
Even the police are cashing in on "stuff".
Was that purely coincidence I wonder?
Check out what this last sign is really all about HERE.


it's all about stuff
from bits and pieces to
being stuffed

Toilet Art?

Not often do you see any form of art - other than graffiti - gracing exterior toilet walls.
But this one is in a park at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.

It features images of Australian plants with glass protection.

there's more to a brick...

Little house at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.
The street side brick fence line is an unusual style.
But more unusual is how the fence continues down the driveway and becomes a garden border.
The neighbour's wrought iron fence makes a wonderful contrast.

Understated Fence?

Lovely old house - Californian bungalow - at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.
Somehow I feel that the fence line style doesn't really complement the house.
Maybe they wanted an understated fence line so that attention is drawn to the house and garden?

the small escapes


NOTE
Re: the curled feature on the roofline.
Many early 20th century homes have this.
Some say it's called a pinnancle and is a stylised version of a gargoyle to ward off evil.
More responses suggest that it is a feature of Japanese architecture advertised in the World Trade Fairs and "borrowed" for other architecture.
For more details of the discussion about "what it is" see HERE!

Arty Toilet Wall

Not often (never?) do I take photos of a public toilet facility.
But this shiny metal one at a park in Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne, fascinated me.
On the outside walls were intriguing images under a glass cover.
This is one of them.

Prompt: Brown

Matilda Bay

This sign is in the heart of Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.
It looks as if it is set on a shipping container which is right near the footpath.
Matilda Bay has a fascinating website. (Entrance requires you to log in your age!)
Their story began in Western Australia.
The feature on the left of the the sign represents a 2 storey high copper kettle from Germany.
The real version is installed in the North Fremantle warehouse in Western Australia.
