The Queen Vic market is closed on Wed so we took tram to south melbourne market to procure food for dinner. We gave the 3 boys and Lynne a break from all the cooking and gladly took on the job of cooking when we were in the house. Made going to the markets more fun. We explored the area around the market, saw the portable iron houses, the huge South Melbourne Town Hall which is a very large Victorian building restored in recent years when the neighborhood was becoming gentrified and some other very pretty examples of Victorian architecture which now house many artsy stores as well as many people's homes. One afternoon we took tram to Melbourne Zoo to see the biggies of Australian wildlife up close and personal - the kangaroo, emu, koala, echidna, wombat, platypus (he was reluctant to come out, we try going back about 3 times), and many exotic birds. Fun zoo, very few visitors on a crisp fall late afternoon. |
