We are in Melbourne today. Did a four hour guided walking tour all around the city center. Sydney had seemed a little overwhelming, since we were on our own. We enjoyed it thoroughly, but we didn't quite know how to approach seeing the city. What we did see was great, but we felt like we had only skimmed the surface. That is most definitely all we did in Melbourne too, but with a guide, we came away really having enjoyed all we saw and having had the chance to ask lots of questions along the way.
I won't attempt to describe everything pictured below, but you may enjoy seeing the architecture and some of the sights, and there are a few shots of us in the mix. I did add a few comments here and there.
Inside a very old shopping mall.
A giant coin purse––one of the city's many public works of art.
See the platypuses on the fountain below?
Great public transportation, and free!
Uniforms seem to be standard for school children, both in AU and NZ.
Helpful information volunteers at nearly every corner.
We bought lunch from a street vendor selling terrific burgers and fries. This is Maddie, who made our burgers.
We sat with the local couple at the right of this picture and had our lunch with them while we chatted about their fine city.
Mickey D's by another name here!
