Posted on January 1, 2016 by Mary C

It’s a short walk north from Brunswick station on the Melbourne Metro train line to the next station, Anstey. A bike and pedestrian path runs beside the train tracks. Some of the following photos were taken along that path while some of the photos were from nearby lanes.
