Our guide at the State Library told us to be sure to go to the Banking Museum. The museum wa a small tribute to the history of banking in Melbourne but the best part was the building that is still a working bank. It is just beautiful.
The painting on the ceiling of the bank is gold leaf.
Still a busy working bank.
This is 333 Collins Street. It was built as a bank but is now an office building. The photos speak to the beauty.
We took in a "Footy" game and really enjoyed it. Our friends Di and Murray got us the tickets. It is a fast game. The crowd was fun, the athletes play hard, and the rules are crazy.
Collingwood, the home team.

That is a day of opposite ends of the spectrum--a banking museum and a football game! You guys have covered the gamut! Now on to Tasmania--you really did save the best for last!
