Melbourne Remember When by Bob Byrne Pdf

Remember dropping into the Coles Cafeteria on Bourke Street for a feast of rashers, sausages, and mash with gravy from the bain marie? Or catching a 'red rattler' into the city? Eating a hot jam doughnut from the American Doughnut Kitchen van at the Queen Vic markets? If you answered yes to any of these questions, chances are you are part of the Melbourne Baby Boomer generation. Take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with Bob Byrne as he transports us back in time to a Melbourne that has long since disappeared, the streets and buildings, the personalities and landmarks, the traditions and the times.

Lost Melbourne by Heather Chapman Pdf

Lost Melbourne looks at the cherished places in the city that time, fashion, and progress have swept aside—the old cinemas, the outdated hotels, the Victorian buildings in the wrong place. Organized chronologically from the date of loss, the book looks back at all kinds of Melbourne institutions that have vanished from the city's cultural and architectural life. Included in the book are sites such as the palatial Federal Coffee House, the original location of the Burke and Wills statue, the horse-racing track in Albert Park, old Spencer Street Station, the original grandstand of the MCG, large areas of Victoria Docks, the Fish Market, Western Market, and Hegarty's Royal Gymnasium Baths at St. Kilda.

The Dark Divine by Bree Despain Pdf

Grace Divine, daughter of the local pastor, always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared--the night she found her brother Jude collapsed on the porch, covered in his own blood--but she has no idea what a truly monstrous secret that night held. The memories her family has tried to bury resurface when Daniel returns, three years later, and enrolls in Grace and Jude's high school. Despite promising Jude she'll stay away, Grace cannot deny her attraction to Daniel's shocking artistic abilities, his way of getting her to look at the world from new angles, and the strange, hungry glint in his eyes. The closer Grace gets to Daniel, the more she jeopardizes her life, as her actions stir resentment in Jude and drive him to embrace the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind the boy's dark secret...and the cure that can save the ones she loves. But she may have to lay down the ultimate sacrifice to do it--her soul.

Roxie Logan is on the run from a bad boyfriend who just will not catch a hint that it is o-v-e-r. She’s not in the mood for love at first sight. Unfortunately, her eyes fall on Hank Nightingale, and she knows it’s trouble from the get-go. Roxie tries to hold Hank at arm’s length, but Hank wants to be a lot closer (as in, a lot a lot). Roxie’s trouble catches up with her and Hank wants to help, but Roxie knows in her heart that she’s no good for a White Hat type of guy. The problem is, no one agrees with her, especially her crazy, hippie best friend, Annette, or her parents, the even crazier, small-town Herb and Trish, or her even crazier Uncle Tex, or any of her newfound posse of Rock Chicks. Roxie’s got the odds stacked against her and has no choice but to hold on and ride it out through kidnappings, car chases, society parties and a wild night at the Haunted House. And what she’s holding on to through it all is Hank.
