Melbourne

Well, despite weeks of beautiful weather, today in Melbourne dawned cloudy and overcast.  That's surely because we are here now. This probably was a blessing in disguise as we walked all over the city and took the tram system everywhere else with a day pass.

As today was the Moomba parade we saw tens of thousands of people streaming down to the parade route.  We caught a quick look at part of the parade and then continued on to our city visit.

And this is the sign from inside one of the trams...we didn't know rhinos could skateboard.  Just for you, Glenn.
