A distinctive feature of Melbourne's streetscape, bluestone laneways can be found throughout the CBD and suburbs as well as being in the foundations of many buildings and used in kerbs and gutters.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Edwards Pavers, leading supplier of natural stone in Melbourne, bluestone pavers are a signature of Melbourne's CBD. When people think of bluestone, they picture the iconic bluestone laneways of the city. A popular choice in homes and architecture, bluestone has been a prominent building material used in Melbourne for centuries.

As well as being aesthetically pleasing, bluestone has high-grade non-slip properties, making it safe for the city streets, plus it is considered an environmentally sustainable material, conserving the heritage appearance of the CBD, explains Edwards Pavers.

The main material used in a number of landmark buildings, including Pentridge Prison, the NGV and St Patrick's Cathedral, bluestone is also the material used for the paving on Collins Street. Instantly recognisable, bluestone is continuing to gain popularity amongst homeowners throughout Melbourne as the building material of choice for both indoor and outdoor applications, says Edwards Pavers.

Typically available in natural hues of blue and grey shades, bluestone is characterised by its distinct cats paw detailing. A highly dense material, bluestone is capable of withstanding Melbourne's temperamental weather conditions, with the natural stone known for its ability to endure the test of time without fading or becoming discoloured.

Suitable as a pool coping solution and for use in other outdoor areas that are prone to getting wet, Edwards Pavers says bluestone tiles are a favourite because of their high nonslip rating. Additionally, bluestone pavers are a practical, easy-to-maintain option. Keeping bluestone looking its best is much easier than with some other materials such as marble or timber decking. To help keep bluestone looking pristine, Edwards Pavers recommends applying a natural stone tile sealer upon installation, which will provide a protective layer on top.

Since 1922, Edwards Pavers has been the leading natural stone supplier in Melbourne. Known for competitive prices, high-quality products, large stock holding and a range of stone treatment solutions, Edwards Pavers can help homeowners choose the ideal fit for their property.

TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese authorities kept up their warnings to the market on Monday of a firm response to overly rapid yen declines, after a fall late last week to a 32-year low and meetings of global financial leaders that acknowledged currency volatility. Japan's top currency diplomat Masato Kanda told reporters that "each country would respond appropriately" on currencies, following a Group of Seven (G7) statement last week that indicated members would closely monitor recent volatility. The statement stopped short, however, of giving signs of joint intervention.

The European Central Bank should consider starting to shrink its oversized stock of assets once interest rates rise to a level that neither stimulates nor slows economic growth, Dutch Central Bank chief Klaas Knot said on Saturday. The ECB has been raising rates quickly in recent months and most policymakers see the 0.75% deposit rate hitting this so-called neutral level, somewhere between 1.5% and 2% towards the end of the year. Knot did not specify an estimate for the neutral but said the rate should reach a range of plausible estimates.

Britain's new finance minister Jeremy Hunt faces an early test of his attempt to stem the crisis of confidence in Prime Minister Liz Truss on Monday when the bond market delivers its verdict on his weekend overhaul of her economic programme. Truss fired her friend Kwasi Kwarteng and named Hunt as her new chancellor of the exchequer on Friday in the hope of recovering some economic policy credibility and staying in Downing Street, little more than month after she moved in. But British bond prices immediately renewed their sharp sell-off in the final hours of trading last week as investors decided that Truss's decision to allow a rise in tax on company profits - reversing her promise to freeze them - was not enough.

China's central bank held its key policy rates steady on Monday, which may mean the same holding pattern for benchmark lending rates later this month. The People's Bank of China injected 500 billion yuan ($69.6 billion) of liquidity via its medium-term lending facility, according to an official statement on its website. The MLF carries an interest rate of 2.75%, unchanged from the last operation, and a tenure of one year.
