Melbourne's Chinatown was established during the Victorian gold rush in 1851 when Chinese prospectors joined the rush in search of gold. It is notable as the oldest Chinatown in Australia, the oldest continuous Chinese settlement in Australia, and the longest continuously running Chinatown outside of Asia. (copied entirely from Wikipedia...cos I'm having a lazy spell aaannnnd they had all the links ready to go.) :)

ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday.I can see you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteI might just follow your example for my upcoming 60th birthday.
I don't have a need for celebration, but walking around in peace with all senses open; that might be fun.
You sure found lots of interesting Ruby places in China town.

Happy birthday Eaton! What a wonderful way to spend it. I keep saying I'm going to take a day and spend it on a photowalk around Tel Aviv, but other than the big Worldwide Photo Walk I participated in it just never seems to happen.
ReplyDeleteGreat images, Chinatown is a terrific subject.
