The doors were closed at the Workers Club in Little Malop Street for most of 2020. In September, I noticed a ‘For Lease’ sign at the front of the window. In November, signage for the Piano Bar was visible in the main windows and you could see evidence of renovations going on inside the venue.
The Workers Club didn’t announce its permanent closure until February, 2021. The Piano Bar officially opened that same month.

Early in 2020, it was reported that Kerleys Auction Rooms in Moorabool Street were permanently closing down. I rushed to get photos, as Kerleys is a local icon.
In July, I walked past and noticed signs stating that the business would be reopening. Kerleys formally reopened in October.

According to the official website:
Launching on 20 January and running until 21 March 2021, the cities of Melbourne and Geelong will be taken over by Me and UooUoo. One hundred UooUoo sculptures, all uniquely designed by Australia’s most talented artists, will form walking trails of discovery and adventure for all to enjoy.
These photos were taken before the UooUoos trail was officially launched. I had planned to return to get more photos, however the artworks were vandalized. They were later moved to a space at the Federal Mills.
The below artwork is titled Tuoo Face and is by Scott Stuart.
