Another image taken from the Eastern Arthurs on another stunning dawn over Federation Peak in the distance!
Hi all! I've just returned from a 1 week hike to parts of the Eastern Arthurs during which we had amazing conditions - this shot of Federation Peak taken during a morning of 360 degree colour :)
Precipitous Bluff is in the background
Federation Peak aggressively dominating the scenery in Eastern Arthurs. When this view opens up, it is the exact moment when you feel that mountains are calling, and you must ...
Federation Square is a cultural precinct in Melbourne, Australia. It comprises a series of buildings containing a public broadcaster, art galleries, a museum, cinemas, exhibition spaces, auditoria, restaurants, bars and shops around two major public spaces, one covered (The Atrium), the other open to the sky, and composed of two spaces that flow into one another (St. Paul's Court and The Square). The majority of the precinct is built on top of a concrete deck over busy railway lines. Construction began in 1998 and the site opened in 2002.
Federation Square occupies roughly a whole urban block bounded by Swanston, Flinders, and Russell Streets and the Yarra River. The open public square is directly opposite Flinders Street Station and St Paul's Cathedral. The layout of the precinct helps to connect the historical central district of the city with the Yarra River and a new park Birrarung Marr. This refocusing of the city on the Yarra River also partly reinforces links with the Southbank district, whose redevelopment has been ongoing as a key part of central Melbourne since the late 1980s.
The site of Federation Square has had a variety of former uses. The Gas and Fuel Buildings, Jolimont Yard and the Princes Bridge railway station were the immediate predecessors, though in the 19th century there was a morgue on the site. The result of an international design competition in 1997, Federation Square was designed by Don Bates and Peter Davidson of Lab Architecture Studio. A key part of the plaza design is its large, fixed public screen, which has been used to broadcast major sporting events, such as the AFL Grand Final, and still continues to do so. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, thousands of football fans braved cold nights to watch the matches on the Federation Square screen.
The complex of buildings forms a rough U-shape around the main open-air square, oriented to the west. The eastern end of the square is formed by the glazed walls of The Atrium. While bluestone is used for the majority of the paving in the Atrium and St. Paul's Court, matching footpaths elsewhere in central Melbourne, the main square is paved in 470,000 ochre-coloured sandstone blocks from Western Australia, intended to invoke images of the Outback. The paving is designed as a huge urban artwork called 'Nearamnew', by Paul Carter and gently rises above street level, containing a number of textual pieces inlaid in its undulating surface.
I personally thought the whole site was an ugly modern monstrosity....'carbuncle' comes to mind. Seen from the Eureka Skydeck on the 88th floor of 7, Riverside Quay, Southbank in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Lots of people enjoying the Christmas Lights at Federation Square. Christmas may be over for another year but the lights will return next year. fedsquare.com/christmas-square
The Evan Davies Building at 13 South Terrace was constructed in 1899 in the Federation Academic Classical style of architecture, purpose built for the Literary Institute.
In 1948 the Evan Davies Building was bought by the City of Fremantle and used as the Municipal Library. A new library was opened in the 1970s in the Civic Administration Building, adjacent to the Fremantle Town Hall.
From 2005 the building contains coffee shops on the ground floor and Kulcha Performance venue is located on the first floor.

Here's a Trade Federation ISW (Infantry Support Walker) concept I came up with during summer break.
Bears the resemblance of a schwimmwagen with the legs of a crab droid. Favorite part of the tank was using pneumatic hose to fill in any gaps.
Thanks for looking!
