We love Melbourne!

... with its gorgeous old buildings and unique architecture,



pretty blue-pink skies as dusk washes over St Kilda,











and the quaint green trams rattling up and down the wide streets.



We stopped in at a Belgian beer cafe with Tash & Greg. Tash is on the phone to Claire, getting her out of bed and to dinner with us at the Mecca Bar in Docklands.



The well-known Flinders Street Station,



and the lesser-known view of train tracks from the Corner Bar in Richmond.



Enjoying organic Mountain Goat beer at the Great Britain pub in Richmond where the wallpaper could jump out and eat you.







From Richmond we took the scenic route into the city, past the stadiums, art events, sculptures and the Yarra River - right into Federation Square ...













... and into the cute little lanes Melbourne is so famous for. Narrow nooks and hideaway arcades that lead to little gems such as the best Chinese dumpling house in the world!
