Melbourne
Day 3
We started off on a self guided walking tour along the Yarra river and towards the Southbank and Docklands area but the heat got to us so we abandoned the walk to visit the National Gallery of Victoria which is like a mix of London's Tate Modern, Victoria and Albert Museum and National Gallery rolled into one. Later we went back to The Lanes for a massive burger for dinner.
Day 2
We met up with Joseph's cousin Mark around midday. He drove us to Smith St where the outlet stores are and then to the famous Lygon St for delicious pizza and dessert. Later we explored The Lanes and looked around the shops in the GPO building and Melbourne Central station. Dinner was at Don Don recommended by Michelle for cheap eats.
Day 1
We were booked on a Jet Star flight but didn't realise that we'd fly into an airport in the middle of the desert with no grass just dirt. Once in town we rode to our hotel on the free 'City Circle' tram. Once settled in our hotel we went to Federation Square to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. We enjoyed an exhibition called 'Setting the scene' which was about production designers, how sets are designed and realised, and what effect they have on movies. Later we met up with Lou's friends Monique and Michelle for dinner at a fantastic tapas bar just across the road from our hotel.
