Artwork and Photogaphy

Throughout the hotel we have several photos of The Rolling Stones. They were taken by Linley Godfrey in 1973 at the Kooyong Tennis Centre in Melbourne.  For more of his work or to purchase one of his photos go to www.linleygodfrey.com

Linley Godfrey is recognised as one of Australia's most influential hair stylists. With over 20 years industry experience, he has worked with the most prominent photographers and make-up artists while building up a client list of the "Who's Who" in Melbourne. Throughout his career, Linley has nurtured his interest in Photography, particularly Bridal Photography, developing an outstanding talent and keen eye. Drawing on this along with his other great passion of hair styling, Linley has combined the two to offer a complete, unique service for brides, unlike anything else available today.

The Rennie Ellis photo we chose was taken in 1967 at the Melbourne Cup. It captures the spirit and colour that was so vibrant in its day.  For more of Rennie's work go to www.rennieellis.com.au
