Melbourne

We liked Melbourne.  The Old Gaol was good fun and interesting but will be the subject of a separate post when I have time.  The walk along the Yarra was entertaining, particularly on the Sunday afternoon we arrived.  Rows of stalls selling street food and bands playing.  I got some interesting views of the CBD, Central Business District for those who don't speak antipodean.  I know these two are similar but I liked them both for different reasons, mainly the specular highlights in the first and the clouds in the second.

The night views were just as good
and the bar on the bridge pontoon was lively and too sophisticated for us old fogeys.
There were some interesting characters along the bank, some just relaxing

Some in animated, if unlikely, discourse
and some entertaining passersby (that is a mirror on the wall next to him).
I was not able to work out what was the purpose of this sculpture but it was certainly an interesting shape and caught the light in a pleasing manner.
