Oaks on Collins - our new digs

These are the free trams that we take around the central business district. 

This is ONE of the booths at the Queen Victorian Market.We went on Wednesday night (the only night it is open) and had dinner. Of course, we had the chicken and pork skewers from this booth. It was yummy.

If you can read these types of "burgers" you will know we did NOT eat here.

This was as good as it looks.




This is Tom's "breakfast" at the Pancake Parlour.

The beautiful Royal Arcade

More of the arcade (meaning shopping mall from the 1890's)

Beautiful old scale from the United Kingdom, given as a gift when Melbourne was settled.

More desserts? We haven't tried these, yet.

The ceiling in the Town Hall. The tour was great. Such grand old buildings.

An early map of Melbourne

45 years later than the first map. Lots of growth due to the gold rush.

This is a sculture.  Looks just like a hanging tarp.

The beautiful auditorium ready for a dinner to celebrate International Women's Day, today.

Getting ready to perform at the dinner.

Our new studio apartment at the Oaks on Collins. 

Sliding glass opens the bathroom. Hmmm. We'll see how this works!

  1. Love the Royal Arcade...I wonder how many hours you could spend there. Looks like your new apt is rather Spartan compared to the others...as long as the bed is comfy you'll be okay. So many miles to go before you sleep!

  2. What? No ostrich burgers?! Love the donuts with chocolate sauce and Papa's "breakfast!"

  3. Either my eyes are deceiving me, or Tom was eating mashed potatoes and carrots for breakfast!?!?
