Flinder's Station -- the main railway station for Melbourne. We used the tram rather than the train for all our trips around town.
The ACMI - Australian Centre For The Moving Image - a very cool museum for film and video that only opened weeks before our visit.
Samantha crossing the Yarra River.
Old friends - Stuart and Mary-Anne, with their kids, take us out for dinner.


Downtown Melbourne
Melbourne is filled with this type of art. On the drive from the airport there is an installation that looks like a giant french-fry that towers over the freeway.
Our hotel is the gold one in the middle.
More Melbourne art. These towers (there are about 8 of them) put out huge amounts of heat and flame at random times along the Yarra River.


The Tyler family walk with us along the Yarra.

The Hopotoun Tearoom, founded in the 19th century.

This is the best chocolate ever. Melbourne is famous for its chocolate.


One of the many arcades.
The old Melbourne Gaol.
Samantha eating chocolate while trying to experience prison life.
This was a cool museum, a lot of history about the famous inmates in many cells.


That camera angle again.
In the lobby of our hotel.
Carlton, a district of Melbourne. Known for its dozens of Italian restaurants.
A parting image, and a confusing message for some foreigners.
