This week the Hungry Hikers decided it was time to find the tiny doors of artist Mace Robertson. We had a wonderful morning walking 9 km from Southbank, through the city to the Valley. We discovered seven, most of which were in lovely laneways, we had never walked previously. There were two empty spaces. One for repair and the other to be relocated because its site is being redeveloped. The door that Mace is holding below, was found by Joc, the day after our exploration, in a cafe, beneath the Story Bridge.
We were disappointed that the Van Gogh door was being repaired. Google image.
Our last door was in tiny Winn Lane in the Valley. It was an amazing precinct of colour, with, one might say, a miniature radio station and food outlets. Just perfect for a Hungry Hiker lunch stop, before we retraced our steps back to Southbank and the train station.
I would love to read your comment.
Great post! My evil inner-self would find some sort of dead critter to put in front of the clinic door. Good thing I keep him under control. Love the Cathedral!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha. Why am I not surprised!
DeleteOh such a unique, enjoyable way to fill hours with friends, see sights and get your exercise!
ReplyDeleteOur city is so lovely to spend time in and the temperatures at the moment perfect for walking.
DeleteWhat a lovely place. I love unique and peculiar people and places. So much to find there. We don't have this little door tradition here but I really love it. For sure we love fairies!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for introducing this lovely place to me and all my best for you and your girls

Sadly, we have just discovered that the Van Gogh door has actually been stolen.
DeleteWhat an interesting walk! The miniature doors are unique. I've never seen such an interesting place yet.
