Everybody needs good Neighbours - part 2

Continuing from the other post, this was the second of three legs of the Official Neighbours Tour that I went on in Melbourne last month.

Driving into the Studios, we parked at the backlot and were guided around the exterior sets (because the studio itself was closed on Sundays - I'm not sure if the tours on other days go into the studios though).
I would have liked to go onto the "interior" sets as well, but this was good enough for me.

 The Lassiters complex.
.
 .
The corner store.
 .
 .
 .
 .
The main courtyard, which used to be a pond.
 .
Inside the Lassiters foyer.
 .
The old walkway bridge from when the main courtyard was a pond (about 10 years ago - not sure why they are keeping it).
.
 .
 The lake.
.
 .
The Nursery (must be something "new", as it wasn't in the show when I last watched it... many years ago)
 .
 .
 .
A generic bus stop, that they use fairly often.
 .
The Garage/Workshop that Charlene made famous with her overalls and grease...
 .
Some landscaping business (like the Nursery, it's new since I last watched the show).
 .
The Eden University (for when each generation grew up and left Erinsborough High School).
It's actually on the other side of the Lassiters building - so one side is a hotel, the other side is a Uni Building.
 .
 .
 .
A stairway set, often used (on the inside) in scenes when people would cross paths inside a "multi storey" building.
 .
After they couldn't film at an actual school (see part one posting), the studio painted "Erinsborough High" labelling on a doorway on the exterior of their own building.
 .
Inside those doors. (a school hallway used for filming)
 .
Another set of "school" doors.
.
And inside those doors, another school hallway.
.
And then we hopped onto the bus and drove to the street itself - Ramsey Street.
But that's covered in the other post.
