On our last day in Melbourne we explored the East Side a bit more after touring the National Gallery of Victoria (next post). The architecture was always fun. Old St James Cathedral was started in 1839 before the Gold Rush. It was next door to where Christopher was staying (small building on left side of photo) and on the other side of the church was Flagstaff Gardens. A strange coincidence was that once a week Scott's cousin, Rob, a doctor in Melbourne worked at the refugee center in this church.
