A taste of Melbourne

Written by

Today is going to be special. First, Tour Mom has rallied and will be joining us. Second, we will get an inside view of this city we are in down under. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So today I plan to share a city tour through pictures.

After a hearty breakfast, Princess, junior silverback, and GOAT and I are off to meet our tour guide.

She said she would be under a blue umbrella.

Emily, our guide, sharing what we would see

Our first stop. The treasury building. Where they stored the gold during the gold rush.

The flag of the First Nation people. Black for their skin. Yellow for the sun. Red for the soil.

A replica of the largest gold nugget found in the world here in Australia. Princess wanted one!

In case you question the above picture.

Into a museum where the architect also designed the louvre in France. Look familiar?

GOAT shared this with me. We only saw two from far away. Note the small head in the pouch.

For the next few pictures, I took some snaps of something Melbourne is famous for. Street art. Through alleys and behind buildings artists have left incredible paintings. Enjoy.
