So may vines, so many... . . 📍Peter Yealand, Marlborough Region, New Zealand 🌿🇳🇿 . . #Brickfact Peter Yealand is not just a huge vineyard (trust me I got lost), but also really sustainable business. The Yealands Estate winery roof in the Awatere Valley is home to one of New Zealand’s largest solar panel installations. It produces more than half a million kW hours per year – enough to power 86 average New Zealand households! . . . #yealands #marlboroughnz #BrilliantEveryDay #newzealand #nzmustdo #legophotography @lego @marlborough.NZ (at Yealands Estate) https://www.instagram.com/thelegobackpacker/p/BrEfNr9CddD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g3vc2b7km5zf

How did they get this inside?! 😱😱 . 📍Melbourne Central Station, Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺 . . #brickfact The Coops Shot tower was built in 1889 and was the tallest building in Melbourne CBD until the 1940s. They used to take lead to the top of the tower (about 300 stairs) melt it and watch it fall 40 meters into cold water which would turn into shot pallets. . . Since the building was a heritage listing they couldn't demolish it when the city started to develope. So they built a 20 story glass cone around it! Construction was completed in the 1990s. . #history #coopstower #melbournecentral #melbournecbd #legoinstagram #lego #australia #straya #melbourne_insta @visitmelbourne @melbournecentral #shottower @lego (at Coop's Shot Tower)

Kick Flip! 📍Luna Park, Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺🐨🎪🇦🇺 . #Brickfact Lots of people recognize Luna Park on the waterfront in Sydney, but the first Luna park was built here in Melbourne in 1912. (There used to be 5, one in every major city of Australia but now there is only Melbourne and Sydney left) The most historic features of the Melbourne Luna park include the iconic "Mr Moon" face entry and flanking towers (1912, restored 1999) and tthe Scenic Railway (1912), which is the oldest continuously operating roller coaster in the world.🎢 #thatsoneoldrollercoaster #lunaparkmelb @melbourne #melbourne #rollercoaster #melbs #legophotography #skateboarding #lego @lego @lunaparkmelb

Dun da dun dun 🎶🎶🎶🤘🤘 . . 📍ACDC Lane, Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺🐨 . . #brickfact ACDC Lane is named after the Melbourne based band of the same name. The band used to live in St Kilda and is also famous for shooting their film clip for It's a Long Way To the Top (If You Wanna Rock'n'Roll) on the back of a flat-bed truck as it slowly drove down Swanston Street in early 1976. . Make sure you check this lane out if you're going to the famous art street Hosier lane. I'm a firm believer the artwork in acdc just as good and its not nearly as crowded.🤘 . #rocknroll #acdclane #ACDC #acadaca #lego #legoadventure #legophotography #melbourne #streetart #australia #graffitiart #music (at ACDC Lane)
