As one of Melbourne's most iconic buildings, Flinders Street Station (Flinders Street Railway Station) always looks so elegant and elegant.
But the small tiny million did not expect, its inside unexpectedly all! Yes! Shit!
The situation is as follows:
Previously, government, Victoria, spent A $100 million to start a renovation of Flinders Street Station.
As part of the project, workers also cleaned the ancient building for the first time in more than 100 years.
I don't know, but I was shocked-10 tons of dove poop had been cleared out of the dome of the station!
Ten tons! Ten tons! Poop!
This is not a railway station, obviously quickly turned into a pit of shit! It turns out that it is from such a place that we take the train every day.
It is said that because of too much poop, it took the workers seven weeks to clean up! It's not easy, too, real.
After the Flinders Street Station was built in 1910, many pigeons used its dome as a and toilet. This dove poop day after year accumulation, more than 100 years down, unwittingly piled up 10 tons, it is estimated to be almost a cultural relic.
Of course, cleaning up dove poop is just part of the whole project, this time at the $100 million government in Victoria to recreate the former glory of the railway station. This includes repainting the exterior, painting the mustard color on the exterior wall to a lighter khaki color, and deepening the chestnut and green parts back to the same color as it was when it was first built in 1910.
It will also repair leaky roofs, upgrade platform and station entrances, and repair clock towers.
For the abandoned ballroom in the station, the roof was waterproof and reinforced this time. When the whole project is completed in 2019. This ballroom and other public spaces will be used again.
The ballroom is still worth looking forward to.
Once also is the dress incense sideburns shadow, the upper stream gathering place.
Now the mottled look of the years, really some pity.
As Melbourne's largest and busiest railway station with up to two hundred thousand traffic a day, Flinders Street Station is a must-have place for almost every Melbourne every day, so we're looking forward to what it looks like after its "gorgeous transformation".
