We both love Australia and the opportunity to return to the land of 'mates' and 'no worries' was too good to pass up so I joined Keith in 'Melbun', a city neither of us had previously visited. It is in the state of Victoria, being a former colony of Britain there are a lot of common place names.
The next several blogs will document our amazing time under the southern sky and amidst the gum trees, marsupials and red earth of this amazing and diverse continent.
Architecture - the contrast between historic and very modern.
The Melbourne Aquarium - both frightening and cute aquatic life! The Croc's name is Pinjarra, an aboriginal word meaning 'place of soft grass and smooth water'. He is about 50 years old, was rescued from a farm and is being protected in the aquarium which built the enclosure for him and his 5 metre and 750 kg body.
The first of many spectacular sunsets...
