MELBOURNE

Melbourne is an amazing city - a real art lovers delight.  It was sad to have such a little time there, basically just one day.  I will just have to go back there again one day.!

These were strategically placed in a public square. At the time, a ballet group was performing


The architecture was stunning

As was the Graffitti

Some fibre art tucked in amongst the graffitti

The Australians certainly have a sense of humour.  This was in the window of a particularly busy coffee shop tucked away in a back alley. Great coffee!




The next morning we stopped for a walk along the St. Kilda pier and tucked away in the rocks were these really small penguins.  We will be for ever grateful to the kind lady who showed us where to look.  There were quite a few tourists looking in vain, but she found a quiet moment to make sure the kids were able to see some. 

We had tried to see this sculpture garden when we arrived in Melbourne but there was a gale and a tree had fallen on the winding road to get there and we had to turn around.  Fortunately we squeezed in just a short time to see it before we had to catch our plane out.  It really was worth the effort.
