Yesterday’s blog now updated with photos!
Early start this morning (without the aid of a fire alarm!). Left hotel at 7.15am for coach transfer to airport, to catch the 09.30 to Melbourne – our last internal flight of the trip! Landed in Melbourne 1hr30 later, and met by coach to do an orientation tour of the City. Visited areas such as North, South and West Melbourne, together with Docklands, Southbank, Carlton and Fitzroy. Short stops at Cooks Cottage – relocated brick by brick from it’s original home in Yorkshire.
Another stop at the huge Queen Victoria Market, featuring amazing selections of fruit and veg, meat and fish of all sorts! Had a snack for lunch here too.
Linda (one of our group) and Marcus ( our Tour Director) pictured in costume beside Captain Cook……!
Were also given close up views of the collection of sports arenas inc. Melbourne Cricket Ground, Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
Taken along part of the Yarra River and other areas which included buildings of architectural interest.
Dropped at hotel at shortly after 4pm – no complaints from anyone!
