Melbourne is a lovely old (for Australia) city. Melbourne has the most elaborate Victorian architecture in Australia. It boasts lots of art and cultural events and has a diverse group of really good restaurants. The first picture was shot in the conservatory of the Fitzroy Gardens. The second picture is Flinders Street station, which is a city landmark and home of the railway station. Melbourne is the place Dad most likely spent his R&R during WWII. If he did come here, he would have passed through Flinders Street station. Melbourne is also home to the Queen Victoria market, which is huge 17 acre open air market, selling just about everything, (including, as it turned out, Alex's didgeridoo). While in Melbourne, I attended a performance of "Wicked" in the really lovely and ornate Regent Theatre.
