Opera House? Australia?

I wasn't so sure, but, flipping through the other pics, I noticed Melbourne on a street sign. So I figured this must be Australia.

Nice pics. Thank you.

You should've added a description, so we could've travelled with you, if only vicariously.

That's the one? Looks nice.

There are somewhat similar-looking sandstone buildings in India, quite of few constructed during the British rule by British architects. I forget the name of the architectural style of these buildings ... OK, googled ... it's called Indo-Saracenic. These sandstone buildings look quite distinctive. There are several in this town as well.
