Hi Mum,

Today was Australia Day so we went to the park to have a look at what was happening

we heard that the flag is a combination of the Scottish, Irish and English flag plus the Southern Cross a star constellation we see in the southern part of the world

Hi Mum,

Today we had a day out in Melbourne. When we got off the train at Southern Cross station we walked around the huge football stadium there and had a look at Docklands. This used to be the docks but has been modernised - there are apartments, shops and restaurants here now.
Then we had a ride on the City Circle train - it is a free train that goes around the edge of the central city and has a commentary so you know where you are and what you are looking at!!


we got off the tram at the State Parliament building for a photo - over the road is one of Melbourne's theaters

This is St Paul's Cathedral

Here we all are on a bridge over the Yarra River

this is the spire over the Arts centre

this statue is called Family 2 - so we joined the family!!

this one the statue (Family 1) has been taken away so we became the family...

Now we are down by the Yarra River - the bridge we were sitting on before is behind us


Very nice here Mum, 25 degrees C, sunny a little breeze - not bad!!

Back on the bridge again Mum but looking the other way this time - the stadium behind us is the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where cricket and Australian Rules football is played, sometimes there are concerts there too.

Here I am in Federation Square

Now I have crossed the road and behind me is Flinders Street train station.

Back at Southern Cross station now and getting ready to go on the train for home.

On the way home now. I have has a busy day and am ready for a snooz now! 

Love and hugs

Hi Mum,

We are back at St Leonards for the weekend, so Sue took us down the coast to have a look at the surf beach - it was a stormy and windy day but not cold.


I am here Mum, you can just see my ear in front of Shane on the right hand end!!

Lots of instructions at this beach Mum!!

Love and hugs
Binky

Now we have come a bit up the coast to Barwon Heads - this area is known as the Shipwreck Coast because so many sailing ships ran aground around here back in the 1800's.





More soon

Love and hugs

Now we are at the Light house Mum - it is so windy here I nearly got blown over!!!


Oh!! Sue didn't take a photo of me by the light house, but here is SchokoCookie to show you what it looked like.


Love and hugs

We went for a walk on the beach today Mum - I know I have been here before but had a photo anyway!!

Hi Mum,

We had a good night out tonight - we went to and open air concert with Rod Stewart -

Here is the sign saying we are nearly there - someone has hung a rock from the sign but Sue put Diddl-Maus's head in the way!! 

we got to sit in the sun before the concert began 

Getting ready now

We had a good night and had lots of dancing and singing.

Love and hugs
