| First stop
after a long flight in a short bag - Lebanese coffee to jump start the stuffing & brighten the eyes. They even have the right sized cups! |
Mr. Magick
blesses Melbourne's Temple of Praise to the Majesty of M. Not a bad effort. Could be a bit bigger. |
The folks
of St. Kilda have even constructed this lovely gothic looking throne, complete with rain shelter and live bird on top. |

 A new friend pokes his head through the wall, offering tour guide service around the more exclusive spots of Melbourne. |
Wunderkammer Scientific Curiosities Artefacts & Ephemera Now this is a cool place and Mr. M decides to take a gander. |
Whoops -
getting a bit close for comfort whilst playing amongst the skulls and
butterflies. ------------------------------------------------------------ A wonder of engineering and design. It never ceases to amuse Mr. M how much effort people will make to create what is essentially colour and movement for the "altered" state of mind. |

 We dared Mr. M to put his head inside the croc's mouth (just for the photo opportunity, you understand - really!). His Svengali-like charm failed on this particular occasion. |
 Quick, another shot before we get help . . . |
| Let's
compare, shall we? Now you get the idea of how little he really is. |

Meet Ray, proprietor and all-round nice chappy, who pulled Mr. Magick from the jaws of death. After a sound telling-off, Ray can't help but be enchanted by the 'olde worlde' grace and charisma of the little man and offers him a glass cabinet all his own. |

 Holy Cthulu! |

| Mr. Magick
faces a conflict between his hatred of stuffed toys and his admiration of Lovecraftian Mythos. |
Ooohhhh . .
. yes, this way, this way. Mr. M attempting civic duty. With the spiffy duds and all, who wouldn't think he was some important personage responsible for the safety of the citizens? |
Using
sneaky guerrilla tactics learnt from watching too many war docos, he bides his time, ready to pounce and press all the leavers and buttons he can - just to see what happens. |

 In our little Homage to Hitchcock, Mr. Magick does a 'Vertigo' on the hotel staircase. The mystery here lies not with some 50s bleach blond leaping from a tower, but rather how many guests he can scare into rolling down the stairs . . . . . . BOO! (Yep, he is in the picture.) |

 A last look at Melbourne from the Spencer Street bridge. |
 The Victorian gent exhausted from his Victorian jaunt (that short bag thing again). The sun is a bit too bright, not to mention early, for this delicate little Goth. |
