Melbourne

October 26, 2019

Today I went walk about with my nephew Kyle who took a break from his studies in Sydney to come and visit his auntie in Melbourne. Unlike me I did not have a plan for the day so we headed towards the Yarra River and the botanical gardens and just wandered. We also found a massive war memorial/museum. The weather was iffy again today with repeated bouts of brief rain showers plus strong winds so after lunch we opted for a nap before going out for Chinese food with Deb and Ron. After dinner Kyle and I went to an English pub to watch the world rugby semifinals between England and New Zealand, the English went home happy.

A view of the river and the concrete jungle of central Melbourne.

One of several foot bridges across the Yarra. This one has the Pony Fish Pub underneath it.

A large poppy at the war memorial. This photo was taken from the upper terrace of the memorial.

The city in the background with the eternal flame in the foreground.

The first lieutenant governor of the state of Victoria.

Enjoying a Pony Fish beer at the pub by the same name. As you can tell it was a chilly day.

More of the city and the river on which there were numerous rowers.
