Jenny, Brenda, Helen ( Samantha's boss), PJ, AJ, Dianne (Kim missing due to improtant work)
We met up with Samantha's colleauges at Melbourne University for lunch and had a great visit.
Wandered around after that and ended up at a free exhibition of Australian Children Books Illustrations. what a fantastict showing of prints with copies of the children's books to read afterwards and experience the complete conception of the work. This building was also the main Library where they had Ned Kelly's original suit of bush armour. Should be a photo here but it did not download and have since cleared the chip.
The next day we went to St Kilda's beach and came across a few live music performances, we liked both spots we hit that we bought cd's and they are great to listen to in the car.

Back to the apartment and get ready to move out early the next morning for the train to Adelaide.
So what can I say about Melbourne that impressed me? Well two things actually, first the public transit system is very good and if you know the connections getting somewhere quickly is not too much of a problem and even the ugly people look good in Melbourne. Everyone is so well dressed regardless of the time of day that they look as if they are going to some special event.
Thx AJ
