#Hobbit and LOTR adventures time and all that jazz

[robertleckie]

All right, I'm crawling back in to post some pictures from Melbourne and filming locations from The Pacific. Please note that A. these pictures are not great (Flinders Street and Flinders Street Station are really busy and it's hard to find somewhere to stop) and B. a LOT has changed since they shot here back in 2008/2009, so it was really hard identifying anything. If I hadn't found articles talking about how they closed down Flinders Street for like two days, I don't think I would have recognised much. They've built lots of modern buildings and such, and obviously it would look different in the show due to set dressing, camera angles and lighting and such.

Anyway, I'm putting the pictures under the cut for anyone that's interested, as well as any info on what they may have used that location for from my memory/comparing the few screencaps I've got saved (I don't have access to the Melbourne episode atm).

Okay, so this is like the one place I properly recognised right away from the show. This is right off Flinders Street Station (station on the left, street on the right), and where we see the boys eating ice cream in the show.

Flinders Street Station is pretty y'all, and very old time-y which I love! Hard to photograph because busy, and also most of the inside is modernised and/or closed off with ticket gates. But they totally shot here.

So this is Flinders Street, with the station and the area where they're eating ice cream on the left. I'm guessing this is where they filmed the tram scenes as well. They still do run some older-looking trams along Flinders Street, but idk if they're the same they used in the show. I was going to try and go on one, but I haven't gotten the chance to.
