Who said that women weren't allowed to have fun in 1608? Love the details in this old painting.

While there are so many new people here and we are all trying to find each other, I thought I'd do a new #Introduction toot.

So if you're #LeftWing anti Tory/Right Wing, pro #LGBTQ and anti racism then we might just get along.

I also toot about #ADHD. I'm a fountain of useless knowledge. #History geek. Avid #IceSkater. Mediocre #Skateboarding noob.

I love to read, mainly #SciFi and #Fantasy. Big fan of #Metal and most alt music. #StarTrek is my comfort TV.

#PetPics always welcome.

This lone #iceskater located on the #stklida #Esplinade #Australia is simply majestic.

It stands at over 10 foot tall on the Upper Esplanade and peers serenely over the tram tracks, the foreshore and bay, toward the west of our gorgeous city!

This iconic beauty celebrates the previous existence of the St. Moritz Ice Rink. This venue was a popular ice rink housed in a grand building on The Esplanade, which operated between 1939–1981.

As one of only two ice rinks in Melbourne in the 40s and 50s, it played a central role to the sport of ice hockey in Australia.

Closed in 1982, as it suffered a major fire and was then demolished.

The St. Moritz was first built as the Wattle Path Palais de Danse in 1922, a very large dance hall.
