Melbourne
|
We arrived in Melbourne on the 7th after a long flight via Hong Kong and for once the flight was 1/2 empty so there was plenty of room to lie down. The weather was overcast but not too cold and it stayed that way for the 3 days. God I hate jet lag every 5 minutes you feel like falling asleep.
On the following day we met up with Lizoz (Marlene) and hubby Bill along with Dougmc AKA Ken for a tour of Melbourne's sights and sounds.

We stayed on Southbank, Melbourne just below the tall building which is called the Eureka Tower. 88 floors high. |
| Just across fromthe hotel is Princes bridge which leads to Flinders Railway station. across the Yarra river is the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) hallowed turf for a lot of Aussies. |

Flinders Railway station just across from Federation Square, where we caught the train to Blackburn to meet Dougmc. |
