12:30am: Pic: Rooves of town cottages in Fitzroy North, Melbourne

The amount of detail on the rooves shows just how much money there has been in Melbourne. These town cottages are nothing special, but the builders obviously went to a bit of trouble with the decorations.

9:35pm: Pic: Richard Wagner, Sherlock Holmes and Oscar Wilde plush dolls

These dolls are at the shop at the State Library of Queensland. I was reading on http://www.tvtropes.com that this well-known image of Sherlock Holmes is a big mistake: Holmes was a stylish gentleman and these are outdoor clothes. The article said he would never wear clothes like this in London, it would have looked as silly as someone wearing high-visibility orange work gear to a formal black-tie dinner today.
