Signs of spring

The calendar tells us that spring is here today. But Melburnians know better than to trust such flimsy weather gauges. At That’s Melbourne, we decided to go looking for more concrete evidence that it is indeed safe to start pushing those jumpers to the back of the wardrobe.

This is what we found.

Sign of spring: blossoms near Flagstaff Gardens, Melbourne

It’s hard to deny the proof bought by these lovely spring blossoms, spotted outside Flagstaff Gardens on a sunny(ish) Sunday afternoon.

Sign of spring: bare legs on city streets

Bare legs with a splash of sunlight show that some of us are keen to let the bright one in.

Sign of spring: Melbourne Writer's Festival

The Melbourne Writers Festival, with one book-end in winter and the other in spring, draws us from our garrets and our armchairs and lures us to Federation Square.

Sign of spring: blue sky with Eureka Tower

The final clue:  the sky above the Eureka Tower, with not a cloud to be seen. A reassuring image for all spring-seekers.

How about you, are you convinced we’re on the cusp of something spring?
