A holiday long overdue. Didn't get to do much as we didn't
have much time and winter isn't the best time to go running to the
major places, so we did the touristy thing within the city of both
Melbourne and Sydney with the knowledge that we will visit again,
and in future, with more time dedicated to each place.
In the meantime, we did the zoo and aquarium circuit. 
These are my pics. I'll sort out hers later. They're
not processed, just resized. Sorry for the lousy
photography.
I think I'll start with Melbourne Street Shots.
Flinders Street Station
... and again...
... and again...
and the street beside it.
Local Landmark beside Flinders, The Young &
Jackson
Then we have other various street shots..
Along Swanston Street
Closed to Traffic, only trams and other public transport/repair
vehicles can access it
The buildings are very Victorian
Corner of Flinders/Swanston Streets
Same church
Then we walked into a protest/demonstration going on at the City
Library.
Aboriginal Rights Protest
It was peaceful and later the marched and held up traffic.
Walking around the city, we saw lots of things to take pictures
of.... different views of the same building...
... and just outside this building, a touch of whimsical on the
sidewalk with this cute sculpture
Giant Stone Purse
There were buskers too... this was the best of the lot.. The
Megahorns!
Buskers - The Megahorns
We went to the Parliament House to have a look...
Even the streetlamps there look wonderful...
Dusk fell so we took a few more shots of Parliament House.
The lighting gave it a different mood...
Street in front of Parliament House
Parliament House lit up
The Street Lamps were nice...
Around Parliament House, were a few very nice buildings like the
Princess Theater and the Windsor Hotel
As it started to rain, we went to get dinner and went back..
this was around.. 5pm and it was getting really dark.
Oh yes... we had lunch with mousy and mouse hubby at
Stalactites...
Stalactites
Chicken and Lamb on spits!
Feeling lucky?
Souvlaki!
Smothered in Tzakziki!!
Dessert - unreasonably sweet and wonderful Baklava
More to come.. Melbourne Aquarium and Zoo.. when I can get the
energy up to do it next...
