Today we travelled by train to the city, then on a tour bus and then on a tram to the zoo.
 |
| This is the Flinders Street station. It is huge. |
 |
| We bought lunch and some things at the Victoria Market. |
 |
| This is an African animal like a big ant-eater, it is a peccary |
 |
| This is a giant tortoise. It might be hundreds of years old. |
Our tickets were for two days so we went back into the city today. This time we went by tram so Nana didn't have to walk up all the steps at the station. We went to the 88th floor of the Eureka Tower.It is the tallest building in Melbourne.The Eureka Tower has a panel of gold for the gold rush and a strip of red for the blood spilled at the Eureka Stockade.The blue and white are the colours of the Eureka flag.
We went into Saint Paul's Cathedral,

This is the Eureka Tower outside view,
You can just see the gold panel and red strip. |
 |
| This is a tower like a net over a theatre. |
You look like you are really enjoying getting out and about in Melbourne. I hope you have had a great stay with Suzy and Rowena.
ReplyDeleteHudson, I enjoyed your blog and found it very educational. I did not know about the Eureka Tower. And I used to live in Melbourne! Looks like you are having a lot of fun.
