Melbourne again

October 27, 2019

More wandering around Melbourne today as I slowly acclimatize to the time zone. We passed a park at Melbourne museum and strolled the river again before stopping for a lunch break. This afternoon we attended the play Come From Away which I have been trying to see ever since it was produced a few years ago. I had to come half way across the world to finally see it but it was worth it. The play is fantastic and I would encourage everyone to see it. I have tickets again in Toronto at the end of November.

Tomorrow we head to Bendigo to begin the cycle trip.

The fountain in the park near the museum.

The theatre where we saw Come From Away.

The pub where we watched last nights rugby match and where I may go again tonight.

We visited the Victoria market this morning as part of our wanderings. It is huge.

Another entrance to the market that has everything you can imagine.

Captain Matthew Flinders (16 March 1774 – 19 July 1814) was an English navigator and cartographer who led the second circumnavigation of New Holland that he would subsequently call "Australia or Terra Australis" and identified it as a continent. Abel Tasman had circumnavigated it more widely in 1642-43[1] and had charted its north coast in 1644.

Flinders railway station. This once prominent landmark is now dwarfed by all of the high rise buildings.
