Heading off to Adelaide

Just waiting in the QANTAS Club at Melbourne Airport for my flight to Adelaide.


Sightseeing in Melbourne

Monday

Went shopping in CBD.

Tuesday

Caught the train out to Melbourne Zoo. Great day seeing the animals.

I think some of the animals are observing the humans rather than the humans observing the animals.

Lovely gorilla Mother and Baby.

Wednesday

Went to the aquarium in the morning and then on to the immigration museum in the afternoon.

Both were quite interesting.
