Montsalvat

Here is another photo of one of the fabulous buildings at Montsalvat. Well worth a visit if you are in Victoria and a great place for lunch too.

This is a link to the history of the place if anyone is interested.

This is a great architectural shot Babs. Have a nice time out!

This is beautiful! (At first sight I thought it was France.)

[Barb Newcomb]

This looks well worth a visit Babs. I read the link, and google mapped it. Its not too far from our son's house, so next visit we'll take a trip. Thanks for that.

Another fabulous building Babs. I can't get the fact that they are so much younger than they look!

Another wonderful shot of this delightful replica of distant past -- love the atmosphere of the place !

[Babs]

@ceilidh Thanks Margaret. I have to admit the social scene has been rather hectic this week.

[Babs]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel. I know what you mean. There is definitely a European influence here.

[Babs]

@beachdog Thanks Barb and you are welcome. It is a great place to visit both for photography and for lunch too. Had a lovely meal in the restaurant there.

[Babs]

@thistle Thanks Joyce, all the buildings were built with reclaimed timber and doors etc.

[Babs]

@beryl Thanks Beryl, it is a lovely place and I am sure the artists find it very inspiring too.

[Babs]

@yaorenliu ha ha, maybe we can invent a new swearword by adopting it and spreading the word.

[Babs]

@onlyme111 @hermann @gilbertwood @darthkitty @bkbinthecity Thanks.

[Babs]

[Babs]

@golftragic You will have to visit Marnie next time you are over that side of Melbourne. Great for photos.

[Gillian]

Looks like such an interesting place to explore. Lovely capture of the buildings.

[Ron]

Well that's now on my list of places to check out when (ever) I make it to your fair land.

[Lee]

I'm surprise how they seem to use, what appears to be, metal for the roof. It spoils what otherwise is a great looking building. Good shot.

[Babs]

@gamelee Thanks Lee. The corrugated metal roof was and is very popular in Australia going right back to the early settlers. Mainly because it was durable and easy to store, transport and erect. Many houses these days have Colorbond metal roofs too.
