Hellooo Melbourne!

Some shopping to be done!! Already had my Max Brenner hot chocolate so now I can focus on the shopping side of things!

Something about the structure in my photo: According to mr Google:

Coop's Shot Tower is a shot tower located in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, Australia.It was completed in 1888 and is 50 metres high. The historic building was saved from demolition in 1973 and was incorporated into Melbourne Central complex in 1991 underneath an 84 m-high conical glass roof.

Coop's Shot Tower is 9 storeys high, and has 327 steps to the top. The tower produced six tonnes of shot weekly up until 1961, when the demand for the lead shot dwindled, because of new firearm regulations.[citation needed] The tower was operated by the Coops family, who also managed Clifton Hill Shot Tower.
